In patients with an esophageal carcinoma, it was important to determine the depth of the carcinomatous involvement so as to decide on its resectability and prognosis. Thus four measurements of the esophagography findings involving ninety five post-esophagectomy patients were categorized into four grades and scored from point 1 to point 4, depending on the degree of severity, the measurements being the size of the tumor, the circumferential carcinomatous invasion, the degree of stenosis, and the depth of the ulcer. The sum total scores of these four esophagography findings were found to correlate well (P less than 0.01) with the depth of the invasion (submucosa, muscularis propria, adventitia, and the adjacent structures).
对于食管癌患者，确定癌组织浸润深度对于决定其可切除性和预后至关重要。因此，对95例食管切除术后患者的食管造影检查结果进行了四项测量，并根据严重程度分为四个等级，从1分到4分进行评分，测量内容包括肿瘤大小、癌组织的环形浸润、狭窄程度和溃疡深度。结果发现，这四项食管造影检查结果的总分与浸润深度（黏膜下层、固有肌层、外膜和相邻结构）具有良好的相关性（P小于0.01）。
