Pulmonary adenocarcinoma is increasing in incidence. Current classification systems based purely on morphological features are of little clinical relevance. Recent descriptions of genetic abnormalities, particularly in K-ras, p53, and c-erb-B2, may form the basis of a new taxonomy having direct prog
In the United States, the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma has risen faster than any other malignancy in recent years, and now represents the most common histologic type of esophageal cancer observed in major institutions. The precise etiology of this malignancy, and the epidermiologic variabl
## Abstract Reflux of acidic gastric contents and bile acids into the lower esophagus has been identified to have a central role in esophageal malignancy and is reported to upregulate caudalβrelated homologue 2 (CDX2), a regulatory gene involved in embryonic development and axial patterning of the
