It is estimated that the risk of neoplasia in Barrett oesophagus, through the intermediate step of dysplastic transformation of the columnar epithelium, is 125-fold higher than in general population. But scarce data are available on genetic alterations occurring in metaplasia-dysplasia-adenocarcinoma sequence of Barrett oesophagus...
