Insights into the Pathophysiology of Esophageal Adenocarcinoma
Although researchers have identified genetic alterations that contribute to development of esophageal adenocarcinoma, we know little about features of patients or environmental factors that mediate progression of chronic acid biliary reflux to Barrett?… Continue reading
Pathophysiology of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
The pathogenesis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is complex and involves changes in reflux exposure, epithelial resistance, and visceral sensitivity. The gastric refluxate is a noxious material that injures the esophagus and elicits symptoms…. Continue reading
Management of Patients With Adenocarcinoma or Squamous Cancer of The Esophagus
Esophageal cancer is characterized by the early and frequent metastasis. Surgery is the primary treatment for early-stage disease, whereas patients with patients with locally advanced disease receive peri-operative chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy. Sq… Continue reading
