It is important to distinguish Barrett's esophagus (BE) from intestinal metaplasia related to
carditis because these conditions have a different natural history, risk of malignancy, and …

Intestinal metaplasia (IM) in endoscopic biopsies obtained from close to the
gastroesophageal junction may represent IM of the cardia (CIM) or Barrett's esophagus (BE) …

We have previously demonstrated a specific pattern of mucin (MUC) core polypeptide
expression in Barrett's esophagus (BE) characterized by MUC1 and MUC6 positivity in …

Aims: To study the expression of MUC1 and MUC4 mucins in Barrett-associated
oesophageal adenocarcinoma and coexisting lesions of the carcinogenic sequence (normal …

Intestinal metaplasia is a prerequisite criterion for the diagnosis of Barrett's metaplasia and
the sole columnar esophageal lining associated with malignancy. It is recognized by the …

Background Mucin immunoexpression in adenocarcinoma arising in Barrett's esophagus
(BE) may indicate the carcinogenesis pathway. The aim of this study was to evaluate …

Aims: Barrett's oesophagus constitutes metaplastic epithelium, often diagnosed by mucin
histochemistry. We determined the mucins and trefoil factor family (TFF)‐peptides that were …

Barrett's esophagus (BE) consists of metaplastic epithelium of the esophagus, generally
diagnosed by mucin histochemistry. We aimed to determine which mucins were expressed …

Background: Mucins are heavily glycosylated glycoproteins, synthesized by mucosal
surfaces and have an important role in healthy state and malignant diseases. Change in …

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Mucin genes are expressed in a site specific manner throughout
the gastrointestinal tract. Little is known about the expression pattern in the oesophagus. In …
