UPDATE/EDIT: It was mistakenly commented by the interviewer that BE may be a form of throat cancer vs. a “precancerous condition,” as further elaborated below. “Barrett's esophagus is the most common precancerous condition of the esophagus. In Barrett's esophagus, the normal cells lining the esophagus are replaced by cells that are like the lining of the stomach or intestine. This is called intestinal metaplasia. It is most often found in the gastroesophageal (GE) junction, which is where the esophagus joins the stomach.People with Barrett's esophagus have a higher risk of developing abnormal cells, called dysplasia. Dysplasia describes how abnormal cells look. With low-grade dysplasia, the abnormal cells look somewhat different from normal cells. In high-grade dysplasia, the cells look very abnormal. ”https://cancer.ca/en/cancer-information/cancer-types/esophageal/what-is-esophageal-cancer/precancerous-conditions#:~:text=Precancerous%20conditions%20of%20the%20esophagus,changes%20may%20become%20esophageal%20cancer.
