## BACKGROUND. None of the commonly used staging criteria accurately determine the prognosis of a patient with adenocarcinoma of Barrett's esophagus. The authors therefore assessed the expression pattern and prognostic impact of CD44 standard and CD44 isoforms CD44v4, v5,v6,v7, and v10 in adenocar

## BACKGROUND. The rate of incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma has surpassed that of all other malignancies in the U.S. Esophageal adenocarcinoma arises from Barrett's esophagus through the multistep accumulation of genetic mutations in metaplastic cells, accompanied by histologic changes from
## Abstract Ion channels regulate a broad range of cellular activities. Alteration in ion channel function has been reported in different human pathologies, such as cardiac, neuromuscular, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. We investigated the expression of hERG1 K^+^ channels in the human upper gast
Villin is a cytoskeletal protein that is involved in the formation of brush-border microvilli in normal small intestine and colon epithelium. This protein is present in Barrett's metaplasia but is reported not to be expressed in Barrett's adenocarcinoma. In this study, we analyzed villin protein exp
## Abstract Previous studies from our laboratory and others have suggested that increased expression of __cox‐2__ is important in the genesis of esophageal adenocarcinoma. __In vitro__ studies suggest that __cox‐2__ regulates expression of the anti‐apoptotic protein bcl‐2, thus possibly accounting
