  • What is intestinal metaplasia?
    I have been having severe and chronic stomach and digestive troubles, so as part of the treatment course the doctors just took a biopsy. They say that the test results show 'Intestinal Metaplasia', and I understand that this is a warning of future stomach cancer... but what IS metaplasia? How do I fight it?

  • Gastric metaplasia of esophagus: Esophageal segment lined with columnar metaplastic epithelium which is flat or villiform. Barrett's epithelium is characterized by two different types of cells: goblet cells and columnar cells. The symptomatology of Barrett's esophagus is that of gastro-esophageal reflux. It is the precursor of most esophageal adenocarcinomas. 3131

  • Intestinal metaplasia is the transformation (metaplasia) of epithelium (usually of the stomach or the esophagus) into a type of epithelium resembling that found in the intestine. In the esophagus this is called Barret's esophagus.
