The esophagoscopic examinations were tried on the sixty-five cases (male; fifty-four, female; eleven) of the esophageal cancer. And the findings were summarized with the rules to treat the esophageal cancer.
The situations of the tumors were divided into the cervical (Ce), upper (Iu), middle (Im), under (Ei) thoracic and the abdominal esophagus (Ea). The female is predominant in the cervical esophagus, and the male is in the thoracic.
The tumors located in the posterior wall of the esophagus in the vast majority of the cases of the cervical, middle and under thoracic esophageal cancer.
The macroscopic findings of the mucous membrane were classified to the superficial, protuberance, excavation, infiltrative protuberance, infiltrative excavation and stricture of the all round wall. And the infiltrative types were considered to be the advanced cases, and observed mostly in the middle thoracic esophagus.
Histopathologicaly just three cases of the abdominal esophageal cancer were diagnosed to the adenocarcinoma, and all of the other were the squamous cell carcinoma. The fourteen cases had to be biopsied repeatedly.
The X-ray pictures were divided into the superficial, tumor-like, sawteeth-like, funnel-shaped and spiral. They were compared with the esophagoscopic findings. The intimate relationships between these two findings could not be detected.
