Specialised intestinal metaplasia within the oesophagus (Barrett´s osesophagus) is known to have malignant potential, predisposing patients to subsequent development of oesophageal adenocarcinoma. The incidence of oesophageal adenocarcinoma is rising. Detection of dysplasia in biopsy specimens is a pathological criterion for identifying patients who are at increased risk for developing adenocarcinoma. Gastric cancer was the most common malignant disease as recently as 1950s. Since then, there has been a dramatic decrease in the death rate from this disease. There is a marked variation in the incidence of gastric cancer throughout the world.
