Rise of the EKG Machines

As for the sixty-third entry for this new article series entitled as The Facts About Heartburn, GERD and EKG Machines, we will just continue on discussing here about the things we should know on heartburn, and GERD.

Throughout the remainder of this section, the term esophageal cancer will refer to adenocarcinoma arising from the Barrett’s esophagus, that is, from the metaplastic epithelium.

Connection with cancer of the gastroesophageal junction (cardia)

Cancer of the gastroesophageal junction is also called cardia cancer because the region where the esophagus meets the stomach is called the cardia. This cancer, like Barrett’s-associated adenocarcinoma, is found predominantly in white males, is apparently increasing in frequency at the same rate as esophageal cancer, and is connected with chronic GERD.

Therefore, it has been speculated that cardia cancer starts from short segments (e.g., 1-2 cm) of Barrett’s. But then, by the time the diagnosis of cancer is made, the tumor may have overrun the short segment of Barrett’s and may appear to be in the cardia. This speculation about the origin of cancer of the cardia, however, remains to be proven.
