UNASSIGNED
To evaluate esophageal sensitivity to acid between morbidly obese (MO) patients and non-MO controls with abnormal esophageal acid exposure.
UNASSIGNED
We conducted a cross-sectional study of 58 patients: 30 MO (cases) and 28 non-MO (controls). Esophageal symptoms and esophageal
Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a premalignant condition that is associated with the development of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Risk factors that have been associated with the development of BE include male gender, Caucasian race, chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease, smoking, age >50 and obesity. The
Barrett's esophagus is a premalignant condition portending increased risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Given the significant morbidity and mortality of esophageal adenocarcinoma, identification of risk factors for Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma is crucial. There are a plethora of
The two types of endometrial carcinomas are preceded by precancerous lesions. Type I endometrial carcinomas are most commonly encountered in perimenopausal women with the classical risk factors associated with estrogen exposure: obesity, multiparity, diabetes, estrogen treatment, ... Hyperplasia
Diabetes and obesity were noted in 21.3% and 42.3% respectively of 94 patients with adenocarcinoma corporis uteri. Hypertension and ovarian or mammary neoplasia were also common. Obese and diabetic subjects proved more sensitive to treatment with high doses of medroxyprogesterone acetate. Screening
All multiple myeloma (MM) cases are preceded by the premalignant state monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). Results from previous studies show a positive association between obesity and MM; however, the association between obesity and MGUS is controversial. The aims were to
In recent years the incidence in endometrial cancer is rising. The relation of cervical to endometrial cancer has shifted to almost 1:1. The peak of age distribution is between 50 and 60 years of age. Accompanying diseases are obesity, diabetes and hypertension. The endometrial cancer has its
Severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) predisposes to the development of Barrett's esophagus defined by the replacement of the squamous epithelium of the distal esophagus by a columnar epithelium. Barrett's esophagus is a precancerous condition which has a risk of malignant transformation to
Barrett's esophagus is a premalignant condition of the esophagus in which the squamous epithelium of the lower end of the esophagus is replaced with columnar epithelium. Since the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma is on the rise, the major gastroenterology societies have come up with their
BACKGROUND
Obesity is associated with several comorbidities like diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obstructive sleep apnea. It is also well established that obese patients have an increased risk of several types of cancer like kidney, pancreas, endometrial, breast, and others. The
Current data indicate that there is a significant risk of endometrial cancer (EC) in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), although further research needed to clarify the exact molecular mechanisms. Endometrial hyperplasia is a premalignant condition that usually heralds EC and it shares
Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a premalignant condition of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Although the incidence of BE has risen rapidly in the West, it is rare in Asia despite a recent increase in the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Controversies over the definition of BE are
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis is considered as a precancerous condition. However, hepatic carcinogenesis from NASH is poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the activation of pluripotent genes (c-Myc, Oct-4, KLF-4, and Nanog) and morphogenic gene (Gli-1) in hepatic progenitor cells from
The authors discuss the potential influence of obesity surgery on the risk of cancer, focusing on the upper GI tract directly affected by operations. There is currently no substantiation for an increased risk of cancer after bariatric surgery, because there are only about 25 reports of subsequent
