Incidence of Dysplasia in Patients with Barrett’s Esophagus
Karim Wahid Shawky;
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background: Barrett’s esophagus is a condition which predisposes towards development of dysplasia and finally towards esophageal adenocarcinoma, a highly lethal tumour which has been increasing in incidence over the past three decades. Although BE is the single best identified risk factor for the development of esophageal adenocarcinoma, yet the overwhelming majority of Barrett’s patients will never develop this cancer.
Objective: To evaluate the incidence of dysplasia in patients with BE regarding risk factors such as gender, smoking, obesity, patient’s age, duration of reflux, treatment received, associated disease as DM and esophageal histopathology.
