| [ Summary ] | Minute (5 mm or less in size) protruding, flat elevated or nodule aggregating neoplastic lesions displayed a low incidence of cancer. The number of protruding and flat elevated lesions observed is high. Minute flat depressed neoplastic lesions exhibit a high incidence of cancer and are low in number. Regardless of macroscopic type, lesions with double elevations and the presense of nodules in the excavated area are associated with sm massive cancer. Consequently, other diagnostic modalities to determine the depth of cancer invasion are mandatory for selection of treatment. | |
