The molecular cell sciences have had a great impact in the analysis of the genetic and epigenetic events of esophageal and gastric tumorigenesis. In other regions of the alimentary tract such as the colon, the serial identification of the molecular events in the corresponding morphological lesions is perhaps most advanced. This is, in part, due to the relative ease of the histological characterisation of the premalignant lesions. In this regard the analysis of morphological and molecular adaptation in the alimentary tract is inextricable. This review aims, therefore, to judiciously assess the relative applications of contemporary techniques in investigative histopathology. © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
