Eight cases of early gastric cancer (EGC) (histological diagnosis on the resected specimens) were detected Type III (excavated; seven out of eight cases). In three endoscopies. They constituted 3.3% of the gastric cancers observed (239 cases). The most frequent type of EGC was Type III (excavated: seven out of eight cases). In three patients the diagnosis was made only at a second examination, since the first had been negative for malignancy; at the follow-up examination in these cases, the lesion seemed to have healed. The operation was therefore carried out only on the basis of the histological interpretation of endoscopic biopsies.

Eder Puestow's dilatation technique in association with fiberendoscopy was used in ten patients with oesophageal scar stricture and in fifteen patients with oesophageal neoplastic stricture. In ten of the latter patients an endoesophageal prosthesis was endoscopically inserted by Nottingham's method. In describing the methods and results obtained the authors stress the absolute reliability and advantages offered by such techniques.
