Abstract
Guidelines for the screening and surveillance of Barrett's esophagus continue to evolve as the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma increases, identification of individuals at highest risk for cancer improves, and management of dysplasia evolves. This article reviews related studies and economic analyses. Advances in diagnosis offer promising strategies to help focus screening efforts on those individuals who are most likely to develop esophageal adenocarcinoma. Published by Elsevier Inc.Entities:
