Volumetric laser endomicroscopy can target neoplasia not detected by conventional endoscopic measures in long segment Barrett's esophagus.
Methods and study aims: The incidence of esophageal cancer is rising despite increased surveillance efforts. Volumetric laser endomicroscopy (VLE) is a new endoscopic imaging tool that can allow for targeted biopsy of neoplasia in Barrett's esophagus. We report a series of 6 patients with long-segment Barrett's esophagus ( > 3 cm), who underwent a session of endoscopy with volumetric laser endo...
متن کاملAdvances in the Endoscopic Diagnosis of Barrett Esophagus.
BACKGROUND Barrett esophagus (BE) continues to be a major risk factor for developing esophageal adenocarcinoma. METHODS We review the risk factors, diagnosis, and management of BE, with an emphasis on the most current endoscopic diagnostic modalities for BE. RESULTS Novel diagnostic modalities have emerged to address the inadequacies of standard, untargeted biopsies, such as dye-based and v...
متن کاملDetection of Buried Barrett’s Glands after Radiofrequency Ablation with Volumetric Laser Endomicroscopy; a Histology Correlation Pilot Study
BACKGROUND: The prevalence and clinical relevance of Buried Barrett’s (BB) epithelium after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is questioned. Recent studies using small optical coherence tomography (OCT) catheters for scanning underneath the neosquamous epithelium demonstrated a high prevalence of tissue structures that might correspond to BB. Histological correlation, ho...
