Abstract:
The data reported support the idea on possible hematogenic metastases spread in esophageal cancer, especially in bones (in 5 of 209 examined patients). Clinical and roentgenological findings of esophageal cancer metastases in bones do not differ from the manifestations of osteolytic metastases in bones of malignant tumors of other localizations. Timely recognition of distant metastases in esophageal cancer seems to be important from the point of view of selecting the most rational and warranted method of treatment.
