title: [Importance of x-ray examination to endoscopic diagnosis of carcinoma of the stomach (author's transl)].
abstract: Radiologic and endoscopic examinations were performed in 166 histologically verified carcinomas of the stomach. 71% of the carcinomas were diagnosed at the first examination by X-ray and/or endoscopy. By a second examination of the radiologically but not endoscopically suspected the percentage of diagnosed carcinomas was increased to 83%. Though the results of endoscopy on an average are somewhat better due to the practicability of biopsy, X-ray examination cannot be renounced. In early cancer the most reliable diagnosis is to be realized by endoscopy on the basis of X-ray findings.
