Expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in the mucosa of the gastroesophageal junction in patients with Barrett’s oesophagus – the results of ablation therapy with argon plasma coagulation and laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication
Introduction: Barrett’s oesophagus (BE) is a result of replacement of the mucosa of the distal oesophagus by metaplasticcolumnar epithelium.
