Abstract

There is a constant tendency of increasing morbidity rate of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus (Barrett's adenocarcinoma) among Europe and North America population during the three last decades. The columnar-lining esophagus plays an important role in progression of this abnormality. Today, the prevalence rate of columnar-lining esophagus and adenogenous esophageal cancer of the inhabitants of Russia is still unknown. Outcome analysis of 34.903 gastroscopies of Leningrad region inhabitants with gastric dyspepsia symptoms in period from 2007 to 2013 are shown in this study. Intestinal metaplasia of esophagus was identified in 0,83% cases and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus in 0,065% cases. Barrett's adenocarcinoma was identified in 7,9% cases among all patients with columnar-lining esophagus.
