[Clinico-radiological features of incipient esophageal cancer].
One hundred and five patients with esophageal cancer were observed. A retrospective analysis has shown that clinico-radiological examination associated with fiberoptic esophagescopy failed to reveal any typical clinical manifestations of early esophageal cancer. The diagnosis at early stages of the disease is possible only with the aid of different method of roentgenological investigation (serial aimed roentgenograms and radiographs with direct enlargement of the image, polygrams and tomograms of the esophagus, parietography). The most typical roentgenologic sings of esophageal cancer are as follows: the filling defect, rigidity of esophageal walls, changes in the mucous membrane relief and the barium "depot". Fiberoptic esophagoscopy indicates the character of growth and histological structure of the tumor.
