Professor Lord's team at the St Vincent's gastro-oesophageal cancer research laboratory Sydney, in collaboration with the sequencing facility at the Garvan St Vincent's Kinghorn Cancer Centre Sydney, have published the first report of the whole transcriptdome of Barrett's oesophagus and oesophageal adenocarcinoma.

This major landmark study has provided great insights into the biology of this disease, including important new information regarding how some patients with Barrett's oesophagus progress to develop oesophageal cancer.

Transcriptdome sequencing publication in Molecular Cancer Research

Patients with Barrett's oesophagus may be interested in reading an article about Herb, an elderly man who had the endoscopic radiofrequency ablation procedure performed by Professor Lord.
