Abstract excerpt
Barrett's esophagus, or columnar-lined esophagus (CLE), is a premalignant disorder in which the stratified squamous epithelium is replaced by metaplastic epithelium. To gain more insight into the process of carcinogenesis in CLE, we studied several factors involved in the apoptotic pathway in biopsies with gastric metaplasia (GM), intestinal metaplasia (IM), dysplasia, and/or adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemistry...
