Figure 1 Adenosquamous carcinoma of the esophagus. Adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma could be intermingled (A: Hematoxylin and eosin staining, × 200 magnification) or have a fairly clear boundary (B: Hematoxylin and eosin staining, × 100 magnification).

Figure 2 Comparison of Kaplan-Meier curves for patients with esophageal adenosquamous carcinoma and those with squamous cell carcinoma. A: Kaplan-Meier curves for esophageal adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) patients and total esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) patients. The survival difference was significant (P = 0.001); B: Kaplan-Meier curves for patients with esophageal ASC and those with different histological grades of SCC (between ASC and well-differentiated SCC, P < 0.001; between ASC and moderately differentiated SCC, P = 0.004; between ASC and poorly differentiated SCC, P = 0. 536).
