It is reported on 48 early carcinomas in 47 patients who were diagnosed and treated in the Robert-Rössle-Institute Berlin-Buch between 1965 and 1977. In these cases the authors above all deal with the difficulties in the endoscopic and bioptic diagnostics which prove supreme in comparison to the X-ray diagnostics. In the patients who underwent a follow-up observation of more than 5 years the survival rate corresponds to the results reported by Japanese authors.
