Abstract excerpt
Barrett's esophagus is a condition in which the normal stratified squamous epithelium is replaced by metaplastic columnar epithelium that predisposes to the development of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Neoplastic progression in Barrett's esophagus occurs by a multistep process associated with genomic instability and the development of aneuploid cell populations. p53 protein overexpression and allelic deletions on...
