  • Title: [Endobrachyesophagus and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus].
    Author: Siewert R, Weiser HF, Lepsien G, Peiper HJ.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1979 Nov; 50(11):675-80. PubMed ID: 527398.
    Abstract:
    The columnar epithelium lined esophagus is usually the result of a chronic reflux disease. In the literature one can find more and more references to a malignant transformation of this columnar epithelium. Our own observations of 14 patients with an adenocarcinoma in a columnar-lined esophagus support this suspicion. Because the adenocarcinoma of the esophagus has therapeutic consequences other than a squamous carcinoma of the esophagus, the surgery has to give attention to this malignant transformation of the columnar-lined esophagus.
