This book is a compilation of papers presented at an international symposium on digestive diseases held in Yokohama in April 1998. A major goal of the symposium was the exchange of information between researchers and practitioners in Japan and those in other countries. The papers that were presented and the discussions that were held provided valuable insights into the research and therapy being conducted throughout the world today. The contributions collected in this volume are in two parts. The first deals with the gastrointestinal tract and includes chapters on abnormalities of gastrointestinal motility, histopathological analysis, and problems in management of severe gastrointestinal bleeding. The second part, dealing with the liver and pancreas, includes chapters on expression of FAS ligand in relation to hepatic metastasis of colon cancer, antiviral therapy for hepatitis, treatment of chronic pancreatitis, and Ascaris-related biliopancreatic diseases.

Since a number of mucosal digestive tract cancer detected has increased in recent years with an advance of endoscopic instruments, endoscopic treatment of digestive tract cancer is widely spread in Japan but not in other countries. Minute cancers seem to have own characteristic mucosal signs compared with benign lesions. Therefore, strategies, those are different in Japan from other countries, of endoscopic diagnosis are very important.The cancer institute hospital of JFCR (Japan foundation of cancer research) is one of the top institutions which do the best endoscopic treatment in Japan. This book is expected to be the first valuable atlas in which the abundant experiences of this hospital offer beautiful photographs of minute cancers without any scars of biopsies which change aspects of original lesions. This book also offer pictures of magnifying endoscopy using NBI (Narrow Band Imaging) and pathological findings.
