BARRETT' S ESOPHAGEAL CANCER

Barrett’s esophageal cancer is generally considered to be generated through the metaplasia-dysplasia-carcinoma sequence from Barrett’s epithelium.
We have examined 9 cases of Barrett’s esophageal cancer resected in our department, and determined that : 1) The cancer is mainly located in the lower esophagus. 2) Metastases are commonly found in the abdomen and mediastinum in advanced-stage disease. 3) Long-term survival can be expected in patients who undergo radical surgery.
