The study found that a particular subtype of esophageal cancer known as esophageal adenocarcinoma is always preceded by Barrett&#8217;s esophagus &#8212; abnormal cells of the esophagus &#8212; even if these cells are no longer visible at the time of cancer diagnosis. This confirms that screening for Barrett&#8217;s is an important approach to esophageal cancer control.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2021\/08\/210812145036.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Discovery of origin of esophageal cancer cells highlights importance of screening for pre-cancerous Barrett\u2019s esophagus<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ScienceDaily&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abnormal cells that go on develop into esophageal cancer &#8212; cancer that affects the tube connecting the mouth and stomach &#8212; start life as cells of the stomach, according to&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":615444,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-698930","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-genaero"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/698930","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=698930"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/698930\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/615444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=698930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=698930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=698930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
