Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is the premalignant lesion of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) defined as specialized intestinal metaplasia of the tubular esophagus that results from chronic gastroesophageal reflux. Which patients are at risk of having BE and which are at further risk of developing EAC has...
Barrett's esophagus occurs more frequently than previously anticipated. Detection of Barrett's esophagus is by endoscopic biopsy in which normal squamous epithelium of the esophagus is replaced by a specialized columnar epithelium of any length. Patients with more than five years of gastroesophageal refl...
In 1950, Norman Rupert Barrett, an Australian-born thoracic surgeon (Fig. 1; 1903–1979), described ulcers in the lower esophagus, previously attributed to gastroesophageal reflux (GER) by Allison [3], as in fact “chronic peptic ulcers“ within an intrathoracic stomach assuming a tubular form ...
It seemed that people with Barrett’s esophagus, however, did more than transform public perception of their diagnosis; in some ways, they rewrote the “natural history of disease” (Solhdju Citation2021:52) by centering the possibility of cancer prevention rather than cancer development. Thus, ...
Two unusual cases of achalasia with endoscopic and histologic documentation of Barrett's esophagus are presented. One patient had Barrett's esophagus at the time of initial endoscopy for achalasia, before any treatment. The other patient developed specialized columnar epithelia in the esophagus after tr...
Natural history of Barrett's esophagus The natural history of Barrett's esophagus (BE) is difficult to quantify because,by definition,it should describe the course of the condition if left untre... M Rao,SE Attwood,DO Surgery,... - 《World Journal of Gastroenterology》 被引量: 27发表: 20...
Such questions have direct clinical relevance: recent years have seen a sharp disagreement about which phenotype predisposes to cancer development,5, 6 about who should be entered into surveillance and treatment programs for Barrett’s esophagus,7, 8 and indeed about what the very definition is of...
