Sa1250 A COMPARISON OF ANATOMIC DISTRIBUTION, GRADE, AND LYMPH NODE SPREAD WITH EARLY-STAGE ESOPHAGEAL SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA RELATIVE TO ESOPHAGEAL ADENOCARCINOMA

Endoscopic resection is increasingly being recommended for both squamous and adenocarcinoma early-stage esophageal cancers. Most analyses for early-stage cancers in the U.S. as well as the corresponding guidelines have been derived from data from the adenocarcinoma histology. Given that the tumor biology may differ considerably, we compared early-stage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) to early-stage adenocarcinoma (EAC) in a large, representative, U.S. population database containing data on both tumor subtypes.
