Genetic clonal diversity predicts progression to esophageal adenocarcinoma

TL;DR: It is shown that clonal diversity measures adapted from ecology and evolution can predict progression to adenocarcinoma in the premalignant condition known as Barrett's esophagus, even when controlling for established genetic risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predictors of progression to cancer in Barrett's esophagus: baseline histology and flow cytometry identify low- and high-risk patient subsets.

TL;DR: A systematic baseline endoscopic biopsy protocol using histology and flow cytometry identifies subsets of patients with Barrett's esophagus at low and high risk for progression to cancer as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

An endoscopic biopsy protocol can differentiate high-grade dysplasia from early adenocarcinoma in Barrett's esophagus

TL;DR: This endoscopic protocol accurately detects and differentiates high-grade dysplasia from early adenocarcinoma in Barrett's esophagus and does not necessarily require surgical resection to rule out an undiagnosed adenOCarcinomas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flow-cytometric and histological progression to malignancy in Barrett's esophagus: Prospective endoscopic surveillance of a cohort

TL;DR: Nine of 13 patients who showed aneuploid or increased G2/tetraploid populations in their initial flow-cytometric analysis developed high-grade dysplasia or adenocarcinoma during follow-up, but none of the 49 patients without these abnormalities progressed to high- grade dysplia or cancer.
