[Peptic oesophagitis and carcinoma of the lower third of the oesophagus: report of 7 cases (author's transl)].
The authors report seven cases of carcinomas of the lower third of the esophagus developed on lesions of peptic esophagitis. These lesions precede the carcinoma. They can be real precancerous states and even in situ carcinomas whose evolution over several years could be proved indeed. They argue about the therapeutical indications in peptic esophagitis considering not only that such a cancerous transformation is always possible but also the fact that a surgical ablation is always serious.
