Overview

  • Biomarkers
  1. Can not be used to confirm the diagnosis of Barrett´s esophagus.
  2. Can not be used to predict risk of progression.
  3. Promising for the future[1].


  • Endoscopic Therapy
  1. In patients with confirmed high-grade dysplasia with Barrett' esophagus, it is more recommended to proceed with endoscopic eradication therapy with radiofrequency ablation (RFA), photodynamic therapy (PDT), or endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) rather than surveillance.
  2. In patients who have dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus associated with a visible mucosal irregularity it is recommended to proceed with endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) to determine the T stage of the neoplasia[1].
