Barrett’s esophagus is a condition in which the squamous epithelium of the lower esophagus is covered by columnar epithelium, and both adenoepithelial and intestinal epithelial hyperplasia can occur, but those with intestinal epithelial hyperplasia have a higher probability of malignant changes and require prompt treatment.
Barrett’s esophagus is often complicated by gastroesophageal reflux disease, digestive endoscopy, the normal squamous epithelium of the esophagus can be seen to be transformed into abnormal epithelial tissues, and the pathological process of this transformation is known as chemotaxis. Common esophageal abnormal tissue chemotaxis includes chemotaxis into fundic glandular mucosal epithelium, intestinal mucosal epithelium, etc. Esophageal intestinal mucosal epithelial chemotaxis is referred to as intestinal epithelial chemotaxis, which is essentially adenoepithelial chemotaxis.
The risk of malignancy of intestinal epithelialization is higher than that of other types of epithelialization, therefore, it is recommended to find this type of epithelialization of barrett’s esophagus and timely surgical intervention, and pay attention to the regular review at the same time.
In daily life, it is recommended that smokers quit smoking as soon as possible, and obese people should control their weight in time to reduce the appearance of barrett’s esophagus, and that they should consult the gastroenterology department in time for timely treatment and regular checkups.
