Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is currently recognized as a precancerous lesion of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Gender, age, obesity, smoking and some other factors are closely related to BE, but the exact pathogenesis is still unclear. Gastrointestinal microecology is of great significance to the human body. It is closely related to human immunity, tumor, chronic inflammation, nutrient absorption, material metabolism. It may be closely related to the occurrence and development of BE.
