We examined 107 cytology and biopsy specimens taken simultaneously from 103 patients to determine the efficacy of cytologic esophageal brushing in the diagnosis of esophageal carcinoma. After review of all material, cytology was positive in 84% of cases, biopsy in 86%, and combined specimens (cytology and biopsy) in 94%. However, agreement as to histologic type was reached in only 53 of the 63 specimens originally reported as positive by both cytology and biopsy.
我们检查了从103名患者身上同时采集的107份细胞学和活检标本，以确定食管刷检细胞学在食管癌诊断中的有效性。在检查了所有材料后，细胞学检查阳性率为84%，活检阳性率为86%，联合标本（细胞学和活检）阳性率为94%。然而，在最初细胞学和活检均报告为阳性的63份标本中，只有53份在组织学类型上达成了一致。
