Evidence-based endoscopic management of Barrett's esophagus.
[esophageal adenocarcinoma]
Barrett
's
esophagus
(
BE
)
develops
as
a
consequence
of
chronic
esophageal
acid
exposure
,
and
is
the
major
risk
factor
for
esophageal
adenocarcinoma
(
EAC
)
.
The
practices
of
endoscopic
screening
for-and
surveillance
of-
BE
,
while
widespread
,
have
failed
to
reduce
the
incidence
of
EAC
.
The
majority
of
EACs
are
diagnosed
in
patients
without
a
known
history
of
BE
,
and
current
diagnostic
tools
are
lacking
in
their
ability
to
stratify
patients
with
BE
into
those
at
low
risk
and
those
at
high
risk
for
progression
to
malignancy
.
Nonetheless
,
advances
in
endoscopic
imaging
and
mucosal
therapeutics
have
provided
unprecedented
opportunities
for
intervention
for
BE
,
and
have
vastly
altered
the
approach
to
management
of
BE-associated
mucosal
neoplasia
.
