Study Examines Role of Helicobacter Pylori in Esophageal Cancer Development
Infection with bacteria that can cause peptic ulcers and distal stomach cancer may be associated with a reduced risk of a type of esophageal cancer called adenocarcinoma, according to a study in the March 3 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. However, that same study found that... view more (2004-03-03)

A potential targets for the prevention or treatment of esophageal carcinoma
Expression of Livin in fresh esophageal cancer tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western blotting and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), VEGF by Its correlation Western blotting and RT-PCR.   view more (2008-10-29)

H. Pylori bacteria may help prevent some esophageal cancers
Some bacteria may help protect against the development of a type of esophageal cancer, known as adenocarcinoma, according to a new review of the medical literature. These bacteria, which are called Helicobacter pylori, live in the stomachs of humans.    view more (2008-10-06)

Transcutaneous cervical esophageal ultrasound can not substitute for 24-h pH monitoring or manometry
24-h pH monitoring and esophageal manometry are the gold standards of methods used for diagnosing GER and esophageal motor disorders, respectively   view more (2007-10-10)

Gene variations alter risk of esophageal cancer
Variations in a common gene pathway may affect esophageal cancer risk, a dangerous and rapidly increasing type of cancer, according to research by scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.   view more (2008-11-06)

Psychiatric disorders delay cancer diagnosis
Patients with psychiatric disorders are diagnosed with esophageal cancer much later and at a more advanced stage than patients with no psychiatric diagnosis.   view more (2005-08-15)

Link between esophageal cancer and soft drinks debunked by researchers at Yale
Carbonated soft drink consumption was previously suggested to be linked to the 350 percent increase of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus since the mid-1970s.   view more (2006-01-04)

Is ineffective esophageal motility associated with gastropharyngeal reflux disease?
IEM is associated with an increased acid clearance times in the distal esophagus. Gastropharyngeal reflux causes supraesophageal manifestations such as globus, chronic cough, hoarseness, asthma, chronic sinusitis, or other otorhinolaryngologic diseases.   view more (2008-11-03)

Endoscopic therapy may offer an alternative to surgery
Endoscopic therapy is emerging as an alternative to surgery in patients with esophageal cancer given the low likelihood of spread to the lymph nodes.   view more (2008-10-06)

Researchers discover how acid reflux leads to esophageal cancer
A particular enzyme is significantly higher in cancer cells that have been exposed to acid, leading to the overproduction of hydrogen peroxide, and offering a possible explanation for how acid reflux may lead to cancer of the esophagus, according to a recent study in the Journal of Biological... view more (2006-08-17)

New research finds markers for esophageal cancer before it develops
Rhode Island Hospital researchers have identified genetic proteins, also known as biomarkers, capable of distinguishing changes at the microscopic level that can signal a precancerous condition in the esophagus.   view more (2008-11-04)

How to treat gastroesophageal adenocarcinom patients?
Gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas have a poor prognosis. However, numerous randomized clinical trials (RCT) have evaluated, and continue to evaluate, the survival benefit of various treatment regimens.   view more (2008-09-18)

Blood pressure drugs associated with reduced risk of esophageal, pancreatic and colon cancers
Thousands of individuals currently taking angiotension converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, a type of medication commonly used to lower blood pressure, may be doing more than treating their hypertension.   view more (2006-05-24)

Study finds outcomes of high-risk cancer operations in 80-year-olds worse than reported
New research published in the December issue of The Journal of the American College of Surgeons shows that outcomes of high-risk cancer operations in 80-year-olds are considerably worse than reported in case studies and published survival statistics, which may lead to unrealistic expectations about... view more (2007-12-19)

Tooth loss strongly linked to risk of esophageal, head and neck, and lung cancer
Studying thousands of patients, Japanese researchers have found a strong link between tooth loss and increased risk of three cancers - esophageal, head and neck, and lung. They suggest that preservation of teeth may decrease risk of developing these diseases.   view more (2008-05-14)

What should we do when esophageal perforation occurs?
Management of ingested foreign bodies is a common clinical encounter. Complications of this pathology are dependent on a patient's age, the nature and localization of the foreign body, the presence of a perforation, and initial management procedures.   view more (2008-03-19)

Penn researchers identify natural tumor suppressor
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have identified a key step in the formation - and suppression - of esophageal cancers and perhaps carcinomas of the breast, head, and neck.   view more (2008-09-10)

Photodynamic Therapy Is an Alternative to Removal of Esophagus
When you think of heartburn, you probably think of greasy food, not cancer. You may not know that chronic heartburn is linked to esophageal cancer.   view more (2006-04-06)

Imaging technique may prevent injury during ablation for atrial fibrillation
A new imaging procedure may reduce the risk of esophageal injury in patients undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF), according to a study published in the September 2006 edition of Heart Rhythm.   view more (2006-08-23)

Endoscopy may not be necessary in asymptomatic children after caustic ingestion
A new study from researchers in Italy reports that endoscopy may not be necessary in children who show no symptoms after a caustic ingestion.   view more (2008-09-29)

Esophageal cancer rates climb with obesity; U-M study finds esophagectomy safe in obese patients
The rapidly climbing obesity rates in the United States have created a higher risk of esophageal cancer linked to reflux disease. And this has some surgeons wondering if a currently popular procedure to remove the esophagus is as safe in obese patients.   view more (2007-01-31)

PET accurately identifies esophageal cancer patients' positive responses to chemotherapy
Early metabolic imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) accurately identifies patients responding to chemotherapy for esophageal cancer, noted German researchers at the 54th Annual Meeting of SNM, the world's largest society for molecular imaging and nuclear medicine professionals.   view more (2007-06-04)
