Familiality 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...
متن کاملFamilial 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 کاملSquamous Cell Carcinoma of the Esophagus and Adenocarcinoma of Gastroesophageal Junction, a Rare Coincidence
Simultaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of esophagus and gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma has rarely been reported. It is often difficult to diagnose this coexistence preoperatively due to the presence of esophageal stenosis. Herein, we report a patient with esophageal SCC whose gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma was also detected after pathologic examination of the resected specimen.
متن کاملPractice of Epidemiology Population Attributable Fractions of Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagus and Gastroesophageal Junction
Obesity, gastroesophageal reflux, and smoking have repeatedly been shown to be important and independent risk factors for adenocarcinoma of the esophagus (EAC) and of the gastroesophageal junction (GEJAC). There have been few attempts, however, to quantify the proportion of disease associated with these potentially modifiable factors. The authors have estimated the population attributable fract...
