The role of smoking and alcohol in metaplasia and cancer risk in Barrett's columnar lined oesophagus.
Smoking and alcohol consumption predispose to oesophageal mucosal damage and exacerbates gastro-oesophageal reflux. The alcohol and smoking habits of patients with severe oesophagitis (n = 24), Barrett's columnar lined oesophagus (CLO) (n = 58), and adenocarcinoma arising in CLO (n = 23) were studied. There was no significant difference between the age (median 67, 64, and 65 years respectively)...
متن کاملHistological and histochemical changes in the columnar lined (Barrett's) oesophagus.
Multiple endoscopic specimens were obtained from 58 patients with a columnar lined gesophagus to study the histological and histochemical features of this metaplastic epithelium. Five patients (8.6%) had presented with a primary oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Three different epithelial types, junctional, atrophic fundic and intestinal were identified. Twenty two (38%) patients had just one type of...
متن کاملAssessment of proliferation of squamous, Barrett's and gastric mucosa in patients with columnar lined Barrett's oesophagus
There is no satisfactory biomarker yet available for predicting the likelihood of premalignant changes or carcinoma developing in Barrett's or columnar lined oesophagus. In this study we have evaluated the proliferation of squamous epithelium, columnar epithelium from columnar lined oesophagus and gastric columnar epithelium from 23 Barrett's patients using positive immunoreactivity with the mo...
متن کاملHigh oesophageal stricture with hiatal hernia and a lower oesophagus lined by columnar epithelium.
A 23-year-old man with a six months' history of dysphagia was found to have hiatus hernia with reflux and a stricture of the mid-oesophagus. Death from unrelated causes permitted detailed histological examination. This showed a high squamo-columnar junction with ulceration confined to the squamous epithelium immediately above the junction. The columnar epithelium of the lower oesophagus was lar...
