Nonsurgical Management of Esophageal Cancer
In the recent past, the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinomas has risen dramatically, whereas the incidence of squamous cell carcinomas has remained relatively steady in the United States (Holmes & Vaughan, 2007). Esophageal adenocarcinoma arises from Barrett’s esophagus with an estimated incidence rate of 0.4-0.7 per 100-patients/year. (Sharma et al., 2004; Thomas et al., 2007). Barrett’s es...
متن کاملManaging Barrett’s esophagus with radiofrequency ablation
Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a well-established pre-malignant lesion for esophageal adenocarcinoma, a condition that carries a dismal five-year overall survival rate of less than 15%. Among several available methods to eliminate BE, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) provides the most efficient modality, since it has been demonstrated to successfully eradicate BE with or without dysplasia with accept...
متن کاملOutcomes of Radiofrequency Ablation for Dysplastic Barrett's Esophagus: A Comprehensive Review
Barrett's esophagus is a condition in which the normal squamous lining of the esophagus has been replaced by columnar epithelium containing intestinal metaplasia induced by recurrent mucosal injury related to gastroesophageal reflux disease. Barrett's esophagus is a premalignant condition that can progress through a dysplasia-carcinoma sequence to esophageal adenocarcinoma. Multiple endoscopic ...
متن کاملThree-dimensional optical coherence tomography of Barrett's esophagus glands beneath neosquamous epithelium following radiofrequency ablation
We report three-dimensional (3D) endoscopic microscopy findings in Barrett’s esophagus, using an endoscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT) system in one patient before and in one patient after radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Findings were compared with those in a normal patient without Barrett’s esophagus. In the normal patient, findings were of regular flat squamous mucosa with small subepi...
متن کاملBarrett’s esophagus: review of diagnosis and treatment
Barrett's esophagus (BE) is an acquired condition characterized by replacement of stratified squamous epithelium by a cancer predisposing metaplastic columnar epithelium. Endoscopy with systemic biopsy protocols plays a vital role in diagnosis. Technological advancements in dysplasia detection improves outcomes in surveillance and treatment of patients with BE and dysplasia. These advances in e...
