Familial Barrett esophagus and adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction.
Barrett esophagus was found in seven members of a single family. Two of these patients also had adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction. Among family members who did not have Barrett epithelium, one had esophageal ulcerations with dysplasia in squamous epithelium and another had an esophageal stricture. The pattern of involvement suggests autosomal dominant inheritance of Barrett esopha...
متن کاملGenetic Polymorphisms at TIMP3 Are Associated with Survival of Adenocarcinoma of the Gastroesophageal Junction
The poor survival of adenocarcinomas of the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) makes them clinically important. Discovery of host genetic factors that affect outcome may guide more individualized treatment. This study tests whether constitutional genetic variants in matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP) genes are associated with outcome of GEJ adenocarc...
متن کاملIsolated Splenic Metastases of Her2+++ Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma
Isolated metastases from gastric adenocarcinoma to the spleen are very infrequent. Usually, there are multiple metastases from gastric cancer, and isolated splenic metastases are very rare [Lam and Tang: Arch Pathol Lab Med 2000;124:526-530] because of certain anatomical and physiological characteristics (e.g., angulation between the splenic artery and celiac trunk, paucity of afferent lymph fl...
متن کاملMeningeal Carcinomatosis: A Metastasis from Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma
Gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma is a malignant type of cancer, which can metastasize to multiple organs. However, there have not been many case reports in the literature pertaining the relationship of gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma and carcinomatous meningitis. In this case, a 65-year-old African American male with a history of dysphagia was initially diagnosed with adenocarcinoma at gastroeso...
متن کاملFamiliality in Barrett's esophagus, adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, and adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction.
BACKGROUND AND AIM The familial aggregation of Barrett's esophagus, adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, and adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction, jointly termed familial Barrett's esophagus, may represent a complex genetic trait. The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of patients with these diseases who have familial Barrett's esophagus. METHODS Information on gastroeso...
