Risk of progression in Barrett’s esophagus indefinite for dysplasia
Post written by Rajesh Krishnamoorthi, MD, from the Digestive Diseases Institute, Virginia Mason Medical Center, Seattle, Washington, USA. The current study is systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the risk of progression to high-grade dysplasia and/or esophageal adenocarcinoma in patients with Barrett's esophagus indefinite for dysplasia. Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is a precursor lesion for esophageal …

Optimizing histopathologic evaluation of EMR specimens of Barrett’s esophagus–related neoplasia
Post written by Anouk Overwater, MD, from the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, St Antonius Hospital, Nieuwegein, and the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht University, Utrecht, the Netherlands. The main question of this study is which specimen handling method results in an optimal histopathological evaluation of endoscopic resection specimens of …
Narrow-band imaging, volumetric laser endomicroscopy, and pathologic findings in Barrett’s esophagus
Post written by Norio Fukami, MD, AGAF, FACG, FASGE, from the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, Arizona, USA. The case described in the video is a 36-year-old man with 10-year history of Barrett’s esophagus undergoing surveillance every 3 years who was referred for endoscopic resection on nodular dysplasia with cancer in the …
Outcome of EMR in Barrett’s esophagus determined by systematic quantification of epithelial glands using VLE
Post written by Amrit K. Kamboj, MD, and Cadman L. Leggett, MD, from the Department of Internal Medicine and Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA. Volumetric laser endomicroscopy (VLE) is an advanced imaging modality that uses optical coherence tomography to capture real-time, high-resolution, cross-sectional images of the esophagus. Epithelial glands are …
Increasing prevalence of high-grade dysplasia and adenocarcinoma on index endoscopy in Barrett’s esophagus
Post written by Madhav Desai, MD, MPH, from the Gastroenterology and Hepatology, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, Kansas, USA. Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is a known precursor lesion for esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), and we know that incidence of the latter is rising in last 30 years thereby necessitating early detection and management of this …
Focal cryoballoon versus radiofrequency ablation of dysplastic Barrett’s esophagus
Post written by Sanne N. van Munster, MD, from the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, St Antonius Hospital, Nieuwegein, and the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. This study is a comparison of endoscopic cryoballoon ablation and radiofrequency ablation for eradication of Barrett’s-related neoplasia. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is the standard …

Multifocal nitrous oxide cryoballoon ablation
Post written by Marcia Irene Canto, MD, MHS, from the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Baltimore, Maryland, USA. This article discusses a novel method for endoscopic eradication of neoplastic Barrett’s esophagus. We need to develop additional safe and effective approaches to treat Barrett’s esophagus and expand our endoscopic toolkit. In a …

Endoscopic submucosal dissection for early Barrett’s neoplasia
Post written by Justin J. Forde, MD, from the Department of Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA. The role of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in Barrett's esophagus (BE) is not well established. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ESD for the management of early BE neoplasia. ESD is an advanced technique that …

Outcomes after liquid nitrogen spray cryotherapy in Barrett’s esophagus
Post written by Fariha H. Ramay, MD, MBA, from the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Department of Medicine, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland. Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a known precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) and once high-grade dysplasia has developed, the risk of progression to EAC is considerable. The emergence of endoscopic …
