Abstract

The process of growth and development of carcinoma of the esophagus is an interesting theme of study. Recent progress in early detection of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus has allowed us to know features of esophageal carcinoma at every stage of growth and development. In this chapter, such growth and development is estimated through clinical and pathological analyses of 435 superficial esophageal cancer lesions conducted at the Tokyo Metropolitan Komagome General Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.
