    Author: Nakamura R, Watanabe M, Sugimura Y, Kondoh M, Saitoh K, Sasou S.
    Journal: Gan No Rinsho; 1988 Aug; 34(9):1190-4. PubMed ID: 3172524.
    Abstract:
    Early esophageal cancer was discovered in a 55-year-old male with liver cirrhosis six months after the start of treatment for esophageal varices by a series of endoscopic sclerotherapeutic injections using 5% ethanolamine oleate. A histological examination of the entire length of the resected esophageal wall revealed a carcinomatous lesion oralwards and far removed from the lesion where subsequent changes due to sclerotherapy were prominent. Further, the causal relationship between sclerotherapy and carcinoma is discussed.
