Abstract
The number of patients with superficial esophageal cancer has increased during the last 25 years in Japan, and the clinical result has been excellent. At the same time, the pathological characteristics of mucosal cancer are different from those of submucosal cancer and therefore there is a difference in the treatment. We studied the clinical results of patients with superficial esophageal cancer treated at our hospital, and the strategy for treating superficial esophageal cancer is discussed.
