Barrett esophagus is a condition that causes cells in your esophagus to change into cells similar to intestine cells. The changed cells may become pre-esophageal cancer cells. This means they are not currently cancer but may become cancer. Dysplasia is a term used to describe the condition of ...
OBJECTIVE: Squamous islands are frequently visualized at the time of upper endoscopy in patients with Barrett's esophagus, especially those on proton pump inhibitor therapy (PPI). The significance of these islands is not clearly understood. The aim of this study was to systematically biopsy macroscop...
Approximately 10% to 15% of the chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease population is at risk for the development of Barrett's esophagus, particularly in the setting of other risk factors, including male gender, Caucasian race, age more than 50, and central obesity. The risk of cancer progressi...

techniques and endoscopic therapies.There are indications that ethnic minorities such as blacks and Hispanics are at considerably lower risk for Barrett's esophagus (<2%) compared with whites. Central obesity rather than BMI could be a more important determinant of Barrett's metaplasia and neoplasia....
A 32-year-old man experiences ‘heartburn’ and gastric reflux after eating a large meal. After endoscopic biopsy, Barrett's esophagus was diagnosed. What kind of pathologic changes is most likely to be found in the biopsy specimen of the esophageal epithelium?
Barrett's esophagus(BE)is a well-established risk factor for esophageal adenocarcinoma.It is recommended that patients have regular endoscopic surveillance,with the ultimate goal of detecting early-stage neoplastic lesions before they can progress to invasive carcinoma.Detection of both dysplasia or early...
