A Systematic Review of Esophageal MicroRNA Markers for Diagnosis and Monitoring of Barrett’s Esophagus

Esophageal epithelial microRNAs may be used to diagnose Barrett’s esophagus (BE) and possibly monitor its progression to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). We reviewed studies that have investigated this to identify microRNAs with high biomarker potential for screening and disease monitoring in BE. PubMed and EMBASE databases were searched for studies that quantified esophageal epithelial microRNAs. Publications reporting microRNA comparisons of...
