title: Progression of esophageal dysplasia to cancer.
abstract: The following, from the 12th OESO World Conference: Cancers of the Esophagus, includes commentaries on the evolution of low-grade squamous and glandular dysplasia to invasive carcinoma; the mutational spectra of Barrett's esophagus and adenocarcinoma; the risk of p53-immunoreactive glandular dysplasia compared to non-immunoreactive mucosa for progression to cancer; the role of lectins in progression to adenocarcinoma; and the role of racemase immunoreactivity in the prediction of risk of adenocarcinoma.
