title: [Clinicopathological study of early gastric carcinoma of the cardiac portion].
abstract: Even nowadays, early gastric carcinoma of the cardiac portion still presents numerous diagnostic and pathological problems. Fifteen cases of early cancer of the cardiac portion were resected in the past 16 years. In order to clarify their characteristics, we carried out a comparison between the cardiac portion and the upper 3rd portion. The results were as follows: 1) There were cases of IIc type on the gross appearance of the cardiac portion. 2) As for the histological type, here were 14 cases of the differentiated type. on the other hand, there were 40% of the undifferentiated type of the upper 3rd portion. 3) Ten cases of early carcinoma of the cardiac portion had the lesion in the cardiac zone, while most of the early cancer of the upper 3rd portion had a strong connection with the fundic cone.
