โฆ Synopsis
The correlation of 5-year survival rate with various clinical and histopathological factors was studied using univariate and multiple analyses of 128 patients who had undergone resection for esophageal carcinoma between 1965 and 1978 in the Department of Surgery, Kyushu University Hospital. The depth of penetration, lymph node metastasis, lymphatic or vascular invasion, and INF had a significant correlation with 5-year survival in the univariate analysis; however, only depth of penetration and lymph node metastasis were prognostic factors with a significant difference, in the multivariate analysis.
In 55 patients in whom the cell nuclear DNA content had been determined, the DNA pattern was the greatest prognostic factor (p < 0.01), in multivariate analyses.
We propose that the DNA distribution in the malignant cells should be examined as a most pertinent prognostic factor.

## Abstract A review of 167 cases of esophageal carcinoma without preoperative treatment revealed 24 (14.4%) to have intramural metastasis (IM) within the esophagus. Among the clinicopathologic factors, the length of the lesions (__P__ < 0.01), lymph node metastasis (__P__ < 0.001), and the depth o
The purpose of this study was to clarify the factors linked to recurrence of small hepatocellular carcinomas, up to 3 cm in diameter, after hepatectomy. Fifty patients with small hepatocellular carcinomas who underwent hepatectomy between 1976 and 1988 were observed for possible recurrence for at le
