The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) has been increasing over the last 40 years. While Barrett's esophagus is a known risk factor for the development of EAC, the role of the microflora in the development of EAC is still largely unknown and is being investigated further by multiple centers. Our goal was to identify trends in microflora composition along various aspects of the upper gastrointestinal tract in patients with Barrett's esophagus.
