Identification of Barrett’s
 esophagus patients at higher risk
for adenocarcinoma development

           Ileana Lulic, Ivor Kovic
Definition


“... a change in the esophageal epithelium of any length
that can be recognized at endoscopy and is confirmed
to have intestinal metaplasia by biopsy ...”

                                 American College of Gastroenterology
Characteristics
• Caucasian males – middle age
• Rapidly rising incidence in Western countries
• Around 150x higher risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma
  compared to general population

• 0.5% of BE patients will develop EAC
• Overall survival rate of EAC = 20-25%

Potential of genetic markers
• Prediction of risk for disease progression in endoscopic

•   Early detection of high grade dysplasia and invasive
    adenocarcinoma
• Staging and prognosis
• Prediction of chemosensitivity
• Novel targets for anticancer therapies

Conclusion

•   p53 loss and aneuploidy are promising markers for
    dysplasia development in BE


• Ongoing follow up study to demonstrate the true
    predictive value of these markers

  • 18. Procedure Image cytometry Brush cytology Slides preparation FISH
  • 19. FISH • Fluorescent probe • Fluorescent microscopy
  • 20. FISH • Numerical chromosomal changes: aneuploidy • Locus specific losses: tumor suppressor genes • Amplifications: oncogenes and growth factor
  • 21. Image cytometry • DNA ploidy analysis • Aneuploidy – from 2N to 4N, DNA index • Measurement of optical density
