Background: The development of upper gastrointestinal malignancies after bariatric surgery has not been well characterized. Our objective was to review the experience of patients with distal esophageal cancer that was diagnosed after bariatric surgery.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted to identify patients who had undergone bariatric surgery (1999 to 2006) and who later developed high-grade dysplasia or adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus.
