Epidemiology of early esophageal adenocarcinoma [PDF]
Background/Aims: Endoscopic resection has become the preferred treatment approach for select early esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC); however, the epidemiology of early stage disease has not been well defined.Methods: Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) data were analyzed to determine age-adjusted incidence rates among major epithelial ...

Dedifferentiation of esophageal progenitors in metaplasia and cancer
Barrett syndrome is a squamo-columnar metaplasia increasing the risk of developing esophageal adenocarcinoma. Recently, we showed that esophageal cells can transdifferentiate into undifferentiated columnar cells in vivo.

Recurrence following anastomotic leakage after surgery for carcinoma of the distal esophagus and gastroesophageal junction. a systematic review [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Esophageal cancer is the ninth most common cancer. The only potentially curative treatment is surgical resection, which unfortunately is still associated with major complications, the most important being anastomotic leakage, currently with ...

Treatment utilization and outcomes in elderly patients with locally advanced esophageal carcinoma: A review of the National Cancer Database [PDF]
For elderly patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer, therapeutic approaches and outcomes in a modern cohort are not well characterized. Patients ≥70 years old with clinical stage II and III esophageal cancer diagnosed between 1998 and 2012 were ...

Hereditary Factors in Esophageal Adenocarcinoma [PDF]
<b><i>Background:</i></b> The vast majority of Barrett's esophagus (BE) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) cases are sporadic and caused by somatic mutations. However, over the last decades several families have been identified with clustering of EAC.

Prospective, open, multi-centre phase I/II trial to assess safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy with docetaxel and oxaliplatin in patients with adenocarcinoma of the oesophagogastric junction [PDF]
Background: This phase I/II-trial assessed the dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy (RCT) with docetaxel and oxaliplatin in patients with locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the oesophagogastric ...

Chemoprevention of esophageal adenocarcinoma
Abstract Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is a major cause of cancer-related death, particularly in Western populations, and is rapidly rising in Asian populations at this time. Virtually all EACs develop from the precursor lesion Barrett’s esophagus (BE), which is the most significant risk factor for EAC.
