    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Oncology
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Scleroderma can cause esophageal dysfunction, leading to chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
    • Long-standing GERD is a known risk factor for Barrett's esophagus.
    • Barrett's esophagus is a premalignant condition associated with an increased risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma.
