Decision models for surveillance of Barrett's oesophagus (BO) are governed by the grade of dysplasia on endoscopic biopsy, but subjective grading is prone to observer variation. Computerized morphometry and immunoquantitation can objectively discriminate between different grades of dysplasia in oeso
The balance between proliferation and apoptosis within a tissue is important in controlling its overall growth. When either or both are altered, uncontrolled cell proliferation can contribute to cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate apoptosis and proliferation in the progression from Barr
It has been suggested that the high prevalence of short segments of specialised intestinal metaplasia (SIM) at the gastro-oesophageal junction is associated with the rising incidence of oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Our aims were to document the prevalence of short segments of SIM at the gastro-oesoph
