Expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in the mucosa of the gastroesophageal junction in patients with Barrett’s oesophagus – the results of ablation therapy with argon plasma coagulation and laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Introduction: Barrett’s oesophagus (BE) is a result of replacement of the mucosa of the distal oesophagus by metaplasticcolumnar epithelium. The role of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and chronic inflammation in the progression of BEtoward adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus is emphasized. Argon plasma coagu...
