title: [The role of computerized tomography in the diagnosis of regional metastases of cancer of the esophagus and the proximal part of the stomach].
abstract: Computed tomography (CT) findings were compared with operative ones for 50 patients with esophageal and proximal gastric cancer. In diagnosis of metastases to the upper abdominal and retroperitoneal lymph nodes ST sensitivity reached 93.3%, specificity 85% and accuracy 90.3%. The best diagnostic results were obtained in detection of metastases to the nodes of the celiac trunk branch and paraaortal fat (94.2%). Lower CT resolution appeared in diagnosis of perigastric node metastatic involvement in the primary tumor location in the proximal stomach.
