25 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Barrett's esophagus (BE) is described by the transformation of the normal squamous epithelium into metaplastic columnar epithelium, driven by chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). BE is a recognized premalignant condition and the main precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying BE carcinogenesis is crucial for improving prevention,...
