TL;DR: The differences between Western and Japanese pathologists in the diagnostic classification of gastrointestinal epithelial neoplastic lesions can be resolved largely by adopting the proposed terminology, which is based on cytological and architectural severity and invasion status.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that vitamin and mineral supplementation of the diet of Linxian adults, particularly with the combination of beta carotene, vitamin E, and selenium, may effect a reduction in cancer risk in this population.

TL;DR: Improved SES is a promising approach for reducing the tremendous burden of upper gastrointestinal cancers in Linxian and increased age and a positive family history of esophageal cancer were significantly associated with risk at all 3 cancer sites.

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of gastric cancer and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in ethnic Chinese subjects in which 551,152 SNPs were genotyped could provide insight into the high incidence of both cancers in China.

TL;DR: No substantial short-term beneficial effect on incidence or mortality for this type of cancer occurred following daily supplementation with multiple vitamins and minerals among adults with precancerous lesions of the esophagus.
