 The biological behavior of the carcinomas, especially the differences in their ways of spreading, depends not only upon the character of the carcinoma itself, but also on the histological difference of the region where it develops. The esophageal wall is different from that of the stomach in that it has a well developed lymphatic and vascular system in the mucosal layer. We made a detailed histological examination of 21 cases of superficial esophageal carcinoma, 448 cases of early gastric carcinoma with 109 cases of gastric carcinoma which had infiltrated the proper muscle layer, in an attempt to redefine early esophageal carcinoma.

 When we examined the incidence of lymph node metastasis (n(+)), lymphatic and vascular permeation by carcinoma (ly(+) and v(+)), we found the occurrence of esophageal sm carcinoma in which infiltration is limited to the submucosa (30.8%, 84.6%, and 84.6%, respectively) was remarkably similar to the incidence of gastric carcinoma which had infiltrated as far as the proper muscle layer (38.5%, 91.7% and 70.6%, respectively).

 On the other hand, the incidence of esophageal ep carcinoma (in which the carcinoma is limited to the squamous epithelium) and esophageal mm carcinoma (in which carcinomatous invasion is limited to the mucosa) is similar to the incidence of gastric m carcinoma (in which infiltration is limited to the mucosa) and gastric sm carcinoma (in which infiltration is limited to the submucosa).

 Conclusion: There is a difference in the sensitivity to cancer in the esophageal wall and the gastric wall structures. Hence, since gastric m and sm carcinomas are defined as “early” gastric cancer, esophageal ep and mm carcinomas should be regarded or defined as “early” esophageal cancer.
