The Facts About Heartburn, GERD and EKG Machines (Part 66): A GE CASE 8000 Product Review
As for the sixty-sixth 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.
What is dysplasia in Barrett’s esophagus?
Dysplasia is a change in the cells lining the esophagus in which the cells actually appear malignant (like cancer cells). However, these cells remain in place and don’t invade outside of their normal lining (as does cancer). Dysplasia occurs as a series of cell changes as Barrett’s esophagus progresses to Barrett’s associated cancer. Patients with Barrett’s are monitored with endoscopy and biopsies (surveillance) to detect these cellular changes (the dysplasia) or at worst, early cancer. Currently, there is no way to predict which of the minority of patients with Barrett’s esophagus will develop dysplasia.
Dysplasia has also been identified adjacent to other tumors of the gastrointestinal tract as well. For example, dysplasia is found in half the cases of stomach cancer and in colon cancer, in which the dysplasia is visible as so-called adenomatous polyps. Additionally, dysplasia is the same early warning cell change that pathologists look for in PAP smears of the cervix.
