About This Trial
The overall objectives of this BETRNet Research Center (RC) are:
1. to conduct a rigorous, integrated spectrum of transdisciplinary human research in Barrett's esophagus (BE) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (ECA)
2. to increase the biological understanding of key observations made by our clinical researchers;
3. to translate knowledge derived from genetic, epigenetic, and transcriptome research to …
