Expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in systemic sclerosis patients (SSc) and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD)

CONCLUSION: The EGFR hyperexpression may be due to SSc and/or reflux-related damage in patients with microscopic esophagitis. Further studies are warranted to answer open questions and provide a possible role of EGFR in terms of diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy.PMID:38171474 | DOI:10.1016/j.imlet.2023.106834
