Rat Reflux Model of Esophageal Cancer and Its Implication in Human Disease
Conclusions: As in the rat so also in humans, reflux of an admixture of gastric acid and duodenal juice in a high-pH environment induces the development of Barrett's esophagus followed by esophageal adenocarcinoma. This has led to the hypothesis that to prevent Barrett's esophagus and subsequent esophageal adenocarcinoma in humans, the reflux of an admixture of acid and bile must be controlled before the development of Barrett's esophagus by methods other than acid-suppression therapy.
