Early detection of oesophageal cancer based on colour appearance and colour-based data augmentation
Oesophagus cancer is the 9th most common cancer and the 6th leading cause of cancer-related death. Globally, the estimated number of new cases was 572 000, of which approximately 509 000 persons died from oesophageal cancer in 2018. While the overall five-year survival rate of oesophagus cancer is …

Effectiveness of palliative measures in treatment of dysphagia of cancer of the oesophagus
Cancer of the oesophagus,one of the most common cancers amongst the black population in South Africa with "cure" in this condition often considered as a "fortunate accident" by many experts in the field of oncology due to its late presentation and common occurrence of metastasis at presentation. …

Identification of Two Novel Genome-Wide Significant Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms, associated with Barrett’s Oesophagus, determined by further Replication of a Genome-Wide Association Study
Barrett's oesophagus (BE) is a common premalignant condition to oesophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). A previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified BE susceptibility Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) on chromosome 6p21, within the HLA region, and16q23, where the closest protein-coding …

Deep learning on whole-slide images for early detection and risk prediction of oesophageal cancer
… high risk for progressing from Barrett’s oesophagus (BE) to oesophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) earlier and more accurately using data from a minimally-invasive cell collection device. It also introduces a new software library for efficiently handling computational pathology tasks. …

Clonal Dynamics in Barrett's Oesophagus and Oesophageal Adenocarcinoma
… has a metaplastic pre-cursor lesion, Barrett’s oesophagus (BO), which can be monitored and effectively treated if dysplasia develops. Screening for BO could improve outcomes but needs to be balanced with the consequences of over-diagnosis and over-treatment since most BO will not progress. BO is …
