    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: There is increasing incidence of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and esophagogastric junction in the USA and Europe, however, data in Brazil are scanty. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS: We reviewed all histology confirmed esophageal and esophagogastric junction cancer reports during a 10-year period (1987-1996) obtained by upper digestive endoscopy biopsies at a cancer referral center in Southern Brazil. Cancer cases were classified in three categories: adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and others. RESULTS: Among 349 cases, adenocarcinoma was found in 53 (15.2%), squamous cell carcinoma in 283 (81.1%) and others in 13 (3.7%). CONCLUSIONS: In this study, the prevalence of adenocarcinoma was 15%.
