Treatment of Barrett's Esophagus in Israel
Barrett's esophagus is a pathological change in the structural system of the epithelial layer of the esophageal mucosa, characterized by the appearance of atypical epithelial cells in the form of a cylinder. This is a very complex disease that is the result of a number of complications from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This condition can lead to irreversible damage to the esophageal mucosa and provoke malignant neoplasms and tumors. Medical science notes that patients with this diagnosis constitute a risk group for cancer of the gastrointestinal tract.

Learn moreA Protein That Stimulates the Growth of Intestinal Tumors Has Been Discovered
A team of researchers from the University of Toronto has discovered a protein that supports the growth of many forms of colorectal cancer.
