Abstract | |||
The Barrett's and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Consortium (BEACON) is comprised of 12 esophageal adenocarcinoma studies and five Barrett's esophagus studies. We have published manuscripts on smoking (Gastroenterology & Gut), BMI and waist circumference (Gut), NSAIDs, exposure rate analyses, GERD, and alcohol. Additional analyses of IGFs, adiponectin and other exposures are ongoing." |
