AIM: To master the distribution of the carcinoma of the esophagus and precancerous and research the regulation of the lesion.
METHODS: According to the 5 grade criterion of the esophagus an d preventriculus of cytology. We made a widely health examination in high risk a rea Yangcheng county, Shanxi Province to dweller whose age is older than 35 years.
RESULTS: 2238 patients were examed by cytology, of them, 27 (1.21%) were early stage carcinoma of the esophagus, 6 (0.26%) were esophageal precancerous; 27 (1.21%) were early stage of carcinoma of the cardia of the stomach, 3 (0.13%) were cardiac precancerous, total incidence rate is 2.82%, male to female is 1.74:1.51 (2.28%)were esophageal dysplasia II, 226 (10.09%)were esophageal dysplasia I, 10 (0.45%) were cardiac dysplasia,II, 108 (4.83%) were cardiac dysplasia I. Male to female is 1.94:1, the peak age is 40-60 years, 50-60 years respectively.
CONCLUSION: To research the distribution of the carcinoma of the esophagus, the carcinoma of the cardia of the stomach and precancerous by cytology can offer science proof for the preventive treatment.
