Fifty-four cases of minute esophageal cancer (1 cm or less in the greatest dimension) were collected and analyzed. Of these 67% were mucosal cancer and 28% were submucosal cancer. Prognosis was anticipated to be good as there was only one case of lymph node metastasis and three of vascular invasion. A lesion of 1 cm can be regarded as curable regardless of its depth of invasion. The endoscopic approach with use of a dye staining technique is useful for detection of or screening for minute esophageal cancer.
收集并分析了54例微小食管癌（最大直径为1厘米或更小）。其中，67%为黏膜癌，28%为黏膜下癌。由于仅有1例淋巴结转移和3例血管侵犯，预计预后良好。无论浸润深度如何，1厘米的病变都可视为可治愈的。采用染料染色技术的内镜检查方法有助于微小食管癌的检测或筛查。
