چکیده
The following, from the 12th OESO World Conference: Cancers of the Esophagus, includes commentaries on the evolution of low-grade squamous and glandular dysplasia to invasive carcinoma; the mutational spectra of Barrett's esophagus and adenocarcinoma; the risk of p53-immunoreactive glandular dysplasia compared to non-immunoreactive mucosa for progression to cancer; the role of lectins in progression to adenocarcinoma; and the role of racemase immunoreactivity in the prediction of risk of adenocarcinoma.

Nonsurgical Management of Esophageal Cancer
In the recent past, the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinomas has risen dramatically, whereas the incidence of squamous cell carcinomas has remained relatively steady in the United States (Holmes & Vaughan, 2007). Esophageal adenocarcinoma arises from Barrett’s esophagus with an estimated incidence rate of 0.4-0.7 per 100-patients/year. (Sharma et al., 2004; Thomas et al., 2007). Barrett’s es...
متن کاملHeterogeneity in esophageal and gastric cardia precursor progression during six‐year endoscopic surveillance after population‐based screening in a Chinese high‐risk region
BACKGROUND The study was conducted to examine esophageal and gastric cardia precursor progression. METHODS After population-based baseline screening, 145 precursor and 335 chronic inflammation cases were endoscopically surveyed for six years. RESULTS Surveillance of interval and baseline diagnoses for 18 severe dysplasia (SD) cases later detected were: 13, 23, 39, and 44 months since a diag...
متن کاملGenetic progression and heterogeneity associated with the development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is a common fatal cancer, and Shanxi province, a region in north-central China, has some of the highest esophageal cancer rates in the world. Chromosomal regions with frequent allelic loss may point to major susceptibility genes that will assist us in understanding the molecular events involved in esophageal carcinogenesis and may serve as the basis for the de...
متن کاملGains and amplifications of c-myc, EGFR, and 20.q13 loci in the no dysplasia-dysplasia-adenocarcinoma sequence of Barrett's esophagus.
The progression of Barrett's esophagus to esophageal adenocarcinoma is often characterized by the accumulation of genetic abnormalities. The goal was to evaluate the copy number alterations of several oncogene loci, including 7p12 [epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)], 8q24 (c-myc), and 20q13 in the sequence of no dysplasia-dysplasia-adenocarcinoma of Barrett's esophagus. Fluorescence in si...
متن کاملCommon questions about Barrett esophagus.
Barrett esophagus is a precancerous metaplasia of the esophagus that is more common in patients with chronic reflux symptoms, although it also occurs in patients without symptomatic reflux. Other risk factors include smoking, male sex, obesity, white race, hiatal hernia, and increasing age (particularly older than 50 years). Although Barrett esophagus is a risk factor for esophageal adenocarcin...
