Abstract

Although the prevalence of patients with achalasia developing an esophageal carcinoma is low the risk is nearly 140-fold; there is no difference in prognosis between patients with achalasia-carcinoma and those with esophageal cancer without achalasia. We propose a follow-up with biennial endoscopies after 15-20 years of known achalasia. This is accordance with a recent consensus conference, which accepted the recommendation of the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy [3]. In doubtful findings we recommend brush cytologies and/or biopsies, especially if there should be a recurrence of "old symptoms" or the appearance of "new difficulties" which suggest the possibility of a malignant growth.
