はじめに
小さな胃癌を探そうとする試みはかなり前から多数の人々により追求されてきたが,ことにこの数年来,X線,内視鏡,胃生検の併用が盛んに行なわれるようになってきたため,とみに報告例が増加し,第4回内視鏡学会秋季大会(昭和41年11月)のシンポジウム微細病変の診断および診断限界1)では2cm以下,第7回内視鏡学会秋季大会(昭和44年10月)のシンポジウム2)では1cm以下の小胃癌の診断を討論するまでに至った.
X線診断については,白壁は大きさ,高さ,型について早期胃癌のX線診断の限界を追求してきたが,6年前にすでにⅡaは透視で2cmまではみえるといい,Ⅱcは透視でみえにくく写真診断をするようにと述べ,おおよそX線診断の限界と小胃癌に対する検査方法を言いつくしており3),第3回世界消化器病学会(昭和41年9月)で4),表面型早期癌ではⅡaは3cm,Ⅱcは4cmの大きさまでなら容易にみつけることができると報告し,また病変部位を狙った精密検査では1cm以下の表面型早期癌の写真も呈示している5).
その他,1cm以下の表面型早期癌に市川らのⅡa6),村上らのⅡc7)ほか多数の報告がみられるが,ごく最近では胃生検を併用して術前に胃癌と診断した4mmのⅡaを高木が2),4mmのⅡbを大井ら8)が報告し,どうやら微小胃癌の診断も肉眼ぎりぎりの線までせまってきたようである.
著者らもX線内視鏡を併用して,しばしば小胃癌の診断限界について報告9)10)してきたが,1cm以下の微小胃癌となると,なにぶんにも多数の症例を持ち合わせていないため,今まで報告した症例と重複していること,また肉眼的に計測のむずかしいものについては切片上で計測し直したため,幾分数値に訂正のあることをお断りしておきたい(表1).
The author has obtained the following results concerning the x-ray diagnosis of microcarcinoma less than lcm in diameter.
1. Of 158 cases of early cancer including 173 lesions, detected during the recent ten years, cancer smaller than 1 cm in diameter amounted to 16 lesions in 14 cases (8.7%): cancer less than 5mm in diameter was found in 3 lesions, and cancer between 5 and 10mm in diameter in 13.
2. Cancer less than 5mm in diameter was found only by pathological examinations; of 13 cancer lesions varying between 5 to 10 mm in diameter, 8 were detected in the first routine x-ray examination.
3. All but one of these 13 lesions were demonstrated in the films of thorough examination aimed at visualizing them.
4. Discrimination between benign and malignant lesions was possible in 66%; 3 of these 13 lesions were confirmed as cancer while 5 others were suspected as malignant.
5. Retrospective analyses of the cases detected by the follow up examinations reveal that lesions even less than 5mm in diameter can be picked up in routine examination, but discrimination between benign and malignant natures of them is difiicult.
6. Success in the detection of microcarcinoma depends on its site. It is relatively easy when located on the posterior wall; difficult when situated on the curvatures, the anterior wall or in the cardia.
The x-ray demonstrability of microcarcinoma seems to depend in a great measure on various factors such as the size of lesion, its type and its location. It also varies with the condition of the gastric mucosa, the form of the stomach, gastric secretion and the physical figure of the patient examined. Further improvement of examination methods including the combined use of gastroendoscopy and biopsy is urgently expected.
