Research &
Publications
Over the past 30 years, Dr. Odze’s research has focused mainly on the development and progression of cancer in chronic inflammatory conditions of the GI tract, such as Barrett's Esophagus and Inflammatory Bowel Disease: In particular, mechanisms of metaplasia, pathologic and molecular pathways of the inflammation-dysplasia-carcinoma sequence, as well as various other molecular, diagnostic and prognostic issues related to these disorders. The pathologic and biological characteristics, and natural history, of neoplastic precursor lesions, such as dysplasia, as well as predictive factors of recurrence and survival in patients with these conditions, has been his areas of active investigation for more than 15 years. A small sample of Dr. Odze’s research publications are listed below. A complete list of publications can be accessed using the link below.
