Circumferential distribution and clinical characteristics of esophageal cancer in lower esophagus: differences related to histological subtype.

Our results showed no circumferential predilection for ESCC in the lower esophagus, suggesting that development of this type of lesion may be less affected by gastroesophageal reflux. In addition, EAC at the EGJ was frequently found on the right-anterior wall irrespective of BE length.
