Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is an uncommon condition in chagasic esophagopathy not previously treated. In this report, a case of chagasic esophagopathy associated to GERD and complicated with Barrett's esophagus ...

Background: Chronic diseases such as chagasic megaesophagus (secondary to Chagas' disease) have been suggested as etiological factors for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma; however, the molecular mechanisms involved are ...

Background: Chagas disease patients with longstanding megaesophagus have a significantly increased risk for esophageal carcinoma. Materials and Methods: PCR-SSCP analysis and DNA sequencing of esophageal mucosa from Chagas ...

Background: Chagas disease patients with longstanding megaesophagus have a significantly increased risk for esophageal carcinoma. Materials and Methods: PCR- SSCP analysis and DNA sequencing of esophageal mucosa from Chagas ...

Aim: The molecular pathogenesis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has been increasingly studied, but there is no report on the role of MSI in ESCC development associated with chagasic megaesophagus (CM).Result ...

The esophagitis associated with chagasic megaesophagus is commonly attributed to food and secretion stasis, thereby its name of stasis esophagitis. The present work suggests instead that in some chagasic patients the ...
