“…5,58,66,67,69,70 The 6 year cumulative rates of detection of metachronous SCC in the esophagus and oropharyngolarynx were 56% and 35%, respectively, in Japanese alcoholics after endoscopic mucosectomy of esophageal SCC, as opposed to 31% and 20%, respectively, in those with esophageal dysplasia ≥ 5 mm, and 4% and 4%, respectively, in those without DIULs ≥ 5 mm. 7 1 Esophageal dysplasia ≥ 5 mm is associated with a very high risk of SCC in the UADT. The presence of multiple esophageal iodine-unstained lesions is a strong predictor of the development of metachronous SCC in the esophagus 6 9 and head and neck 7 0 in Japanese patients after endoscopic mucosectomy for esophageal SCC.…”
