[Liquid-based cytology for esophageal carcinoma screening].

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Cytologic screening of asymptomatic high risk individuals can detect curable esophageal carcinomas and has been used for several decades. However, the sensitivity of such screening is relatively low, which limits its wide use and development. This study was to investigate the utility of liquid-based cytology in esophageal carcinoma screening. METHODS A mass screening ...
