Management of Barrett’s Esophagus

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is the major risk factor associated with development of esophageal adenocarcinoma. BE is the result of long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); thus, initial management is aimed at identification and treatment of underlying GERD. Once BE is identified and GERD addressed, surveillance for progression to dysplasia is mandatory. Endoscopic therapies are employed to address BE with dysplasia or intramucosal adenocarcinoma. In some patients with high risk features, esophagectomy is indicated.
