Preliminary results from the Finbar study investigating the potential risk factors, including obesity and smoking, in the development of Barrett's oesophagus and oesophageal adenocarcinoma. The study collects information through questionnaires, medical history, genetic analysis, and blood samples. This study highlights the increasing prevalence of obesity in patients with these conditions and demonstrates the association between obesity, smoking, and the risk of developing Barrett's oesophagus or oesophageal adenocarcinoma.
