The epidemiology of oesophageal adenocarcinoma: has the cancer of gastric cardia an influence on the rising incidence of oesophageal adenocarcinoma?
Oesophageal adenocarcinoma has increased significantly in men in Finland, but the combined incidence of cancers of the gastro-oesophageal junction has increased only slightly. To overcome the difficulties in classification of oesophageal adenocarcinoma and the cancer of gastric cardia in the epidemiological studies, the focus should be on all adenocarcinomas at or near the oesophagogastric junction.
In children surviving arterial ischemic stroke/TIA, increased anticardiolipin antibody immunoglobulin G titers do not predict recurrent thromboembolism.
