该研究评估了48例食管癌患者，以评估获得最高产量所需的活检标本的最佳数量。从每名患者中获得8份标本，并将2份标本连续置于4个小瓶中。第一瓶在95.8%的病例中提供了阳性诊断。再添加两份标本（第二瓶）将产率提高至97.9%，第五份和第六份标本将阳性产率提高至100%。根据地点和生长类型，产量无统计学显著差异。
The study evaluated 48 patients with carcinoma of the oesophagus to assess the optimal number of biopsy specimens required to obtain the highest yield. Eight specimens were obtained from each patient and two specimens were placed serially in each of four vials. The first vial provided a positive diagnosis in 95.8% of cases. The addition of two more specimens (second vial) increased the yield to 97.9% and the fifth and sixth specimens increased the positive yield to 100%. There was no statistically significant difference in the yield according to the site and the type of growth.
