  • Abstract

    Although the incidence of BE and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC)
    is higher in men, precise estimates of BE prevalence (screening) and progression rates from
    BE to EAC (surveillance) are not known. Our aim was to perform a systematic review
    and meta-analysis of the published literature to determine the prevalence and neoplastic
    progression rates of BE in women.
