Abstract
Small early cancers have been rarely found at the esophago-gastric junction. We report a case of early cancer at this area after radiation therapy for esophageal cancer.
A 78-year-old man visited our hospital because of discomfort in swallowing.Twe yea rs ago he received the radiation therapy because of esophageal cancer.
The upper gastrointestinal series revealed no partic ular lesions at the esophago-gastric junction, but a small lesion of depressed type carcinoma in this area was found by the endoscopy plus biopsy technics. Histologically, the specimen revealed adenocarcinoma.
