“…Macdonald et al (1963) correctly diagnosed 94% of the 72 malignant tumours involving the oesophagus in their series of 179 patients and gave no false-positive reports. Using swabs taken from suspicious areas, Messelt (1960) has obtained 90% positive and 5.7% suspicious cytological findings among 141 malignant tumours of the oesophagus, with only one false positive.…”

“…Rubin and his colleagues (MacDonald et al, 1964), with a very large experience of this method, have reported a series of 500 achlorhydric or hypochlorhydric persons, and found three gastric carcinomas, none of which was early or otherwise undiagnosable; and there was one false positive. The remarkable series of intramucosal carcinomas reported by Schade (1960) were found among patients being investigated for gastric symptoms.…”

“…The accuracy of gastroscopic diagnosis of gastric malignancy reported in the literature varies between 78%(Burnett et dii, 1960) and 58%(MacDonald et a& 1964). However, direct visual confirmation of the presence of malignant disease is of value in patient management.…”

T k e results of a study o f the value of fibreoptic endoscopy in the assessment of 76 patienfs with malignant infiltration of the stomach are presented. The Olympus gastroscope (model GTF-A), the LoPresti axophagoscope and the Olympus a?sophagoscope (model EF) were used. O f 76 patients with a radiological diagnosis of gastric cancer, 61 were submitted to endoscopy. Endoscopy was contraindicated in 15 patients for a variety of reasons. In 61 patients it was attempted, but in five the procedure failed. O f the 56 patients who had successful endoscopy, a dingnostic accuracy o f gastric cancer was achieved in 87.5%. Fibreoptic czsophagoscopes are superior to fibreoptic gastroscopes in the diagnosis of cancer of the upper regions of the stomach. Errors in endoscopic interpretation occurred with ulcerating cancers of the lesser curve area of the stomach, and with cancer of the distal antrum.
