Abstract excerpt
Recent investigations into Barrett's oesophagus at the level of individual crypts have found significant genetic heterogeneity within a single lesion. Furthermore, this genetic diversity has been shown to predict cancer development. In the present article, we review the genetic alterations implicated in disease progression in Barrett's oesophagus and discuss how genetic diversity could arise during tumorigenesis....
