Background: Since epithelial cell adhesion molecule glycoprotein (EPCAM) is associated
with the development and metastasis of colon adenocarcinoma, it can be helpful in …

Long segment Barrett's esophagus (LSBE) is a recognized risk factor for the development of
esophageal dysplasia and carcinoma. However, the risk of dysplasia arising within intestinal …

To investigate the relationship between Barrett's esophagus (BE) and esophageal
adenocarcinoma (EAC), we determined gene expression profiles of discrete pathological …

Loss of expression and function of the E-cadherin/catenin membrane complex can result in
loss of cell adhesion and contribute to invasive or metastatic potential in carcinomas. The …

Background and aim: Widespread applicability of tissue-based mRNA expression screening
for Barrett esophagus (BE) is likely to require (1) accurate methods for assaying archival …

Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a premalignantcondition, due to chronic gastroesophageal
reflux. Effective antireflux therapy may diminish cancer risk. To evaluate this option an …

The identification of reliable prognostic markers that distinguish patients' status and predict
therapeutic response can improve the clinical outcomes of pancreatic cancer patients. The …

Patients with Barrett's esophagus where squamous esophageal epithelium has been
replaced by columnar epithelium containing goblet cells have an increased risk of …

Background: The cost-effectiveness of surveillance in BE is still debated and the use of
biomarkers in screening and surveillance still not recommended. No information is available …

The etiology and significance of cardia intestinal metaplasia (CIM) is disputed. CIM may
represent a form of Barrett's esophagus due to reflux or could reflect generalized gastric …
