Translational approach with direct application to humans, to test specific imaging MRI sequences in obese patients.
Obesity and metabolic syndrome are a well-known risk factor of pancreatic cancer. Obesity is associated with about 30% increased risk in all studies, but the proportion of obese people
1. - Introduction - scientific background, relevance and rationale of the research
According to data from 2014 of the World Health Organization (WHO), globally there are more than 1.9 billion adults are overweight and at least 600 million obese. 39% of adults above 18 years were overweight and 13%
Barrett's esophagus (BE), is a condition whereby normal esophageal squamous epithelium is replaced by metaplastic columnar epithelium, predisposing patients to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). It is estimated that about 5.6% of adults in the United States have BE with risk factors including: long
Gallbladder cancer is a leading cause of cancer death among women in Chile, which has among the highest reported gallbladder cancer incidence and mortality rates in the world. Gallbladder cancer provides a particularly good model for understanding the role of inflammation in carcinogenesis since the
INTRODUCTION:
Intestinal metaplasia (IM) is considered a precancerous lesion and is associated with a very small increase of gastric cancer risk. Generally there are no widely accepted guidelines on the IM management. Recently, the European Endoscopic Society and other European academic companies
Patients with elevated central adiposity have an increased risk of esophageal disorders; we will correlate central adiposity with advanced esophageal pathologies (BE and EAC). This will be done by comparing body mass and fat distribution to tissue abnormalities found by pathology review of EGD
Gallbladder cancer is a leading cause of cancer death among women in Chile, which has among the highest reported gallbladder cancer incidence and mortality rates in the world. Gallbladder cancer provides a particularly good model for understanding the role of inflammation in carcinogenesis since the
Barrett's esophagus (BE) is defined as a change in the esophageal mucosa from normal squamous epithelium to columnar epithelium with intestinal metaplasia (1). There is compelling evidence that BE is a precursor lesion for adenocarcinoma of the esophagus (2). There is also evidence that the
