Description
The increasing incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma has created an enormous interest and stimulus for research in this area. GERD
brings together, for the first time, a vast amount of disparate literature and documents the entire pathogenesis of reflux disease in
one place. The book presents reflux carditis as a new diagnostic criterion of GERD and for the first time defines the dilated end-stage
esophagus and the earliest microscopic phase of GERD that is missed by present diagnostic criteria. GERD presents both
clinical and pathological information and is meant to be used as a comprehensive reference for gastroenterologists, esophageal surgeons,
and pathologists alike.
Audience
Gastroenterologists, esophageal surgeons and pathologists.
