Abstract
Clinical significance of the depth of invasion in superficial Barrett's esophageal adenocarcinoma.
Highlights
The incidence of adenocarcinoma arising from Barrett’s esophagus is increasing because of the increased incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease caused by obesity or aging[1,2]
Abraham et al classified 30 resected cases with Barrett’s esophageal adenocarcinoma (BEA) confined to regions of duplicated muscularis mucosae (MM) into three subgroups according to depth of invasion: inner MM (n = 10), between MM (n = 12) and outer MM (n = 8)
We previously reported a resected case with superficial BEA arising from long segmental Barrett’s esophagus (LSBE)
