Early cancer originated in this region mostly shows protruded or superficial elevated type of well differentiated adenocarcinoma histologically. Vascular invasion is as rare as lymph node metastasis in this area. Therefore, if one want to find out minute early cancer in this region, one must perform endoscopic examination using a forward viewing panendoscope and abrasive cytology with capsule even for those who do not complain swallowing difficulty.
