Abstract

Abstract : The following, from the 12th OESO World Conference: Cancers of the Esophagus, includes commentaries on the animal reflux–inflammation models for Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma; genomic/epigenomic analyses; eflornithine‐based combinations; the molecular derangements that promote neoplastic transformation; the role of COX‐2 inhibitors, proton pump inhibitors, and phase II trials in Barrett's adenocarcinoma; statins in chemoprevention and treatment of esophageal cancer; and biomarkers as potential targets in Barrett's adenocarcinoma.
