  • Title: Carcinoma of the esophagus and long-term sclerotherapy.
    Author: McCormick PA, Sawyer A, McIntyre N, Burroughs AK.
    Journal: Endoscopy; 1989 May; 21(3):152. PubMed ID: 2787240.
    Abstract:
    We report a case where a chronic non-healing esophageal ulcer which developed following a course of endoscopic sclerotherapy proved to be an esophageal carcinoma. In view of 2 similar previous reports we discuss the possibility that sclerotherapy may act as a carcinogen, and suggest that all such non-healing esophageal ulcers should be biopsied.
