Mar 28th, 2023 - Recent genomic studies by the Cancer Genome Atlas show much simpler genomic profiles in distal esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) than in adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction (AGEJ). However, the prognostic significance of categorizing pat...

Mar 23rd, 2023 - Recent studies have suggested that sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is associated with the development of Barrett esophagus (BE) even in the absence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms. The aim of this study was to assess the rates of upper ...

Mar 23rd, 2023 - The endoscopist plays a critical role in the management of patients with congenital esophageal defects. This review focuses on esophageal atresia and congenital esophageal strictures and, in particular, the endoscopic management of comorbidities r...

Mar 18th, 2023 - Intestinal metaplasia in the esophagus (Barrett's Esophagus BE-IM) and stomach (GIM) are considered precursors for esophageal and gastric adenocarcinoma, respectively. We hypothesize that BE-IM and GIM follow parallel developmental trajectories in...

Mar 15th, 2023 - The rate of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is rising. This is partly due to the lack of identification of Barrett's esophagus (BE), the main risk factor for EAC. Identifying neoplastic BE can allow for endoscopic therapy to prevent EAC. Our aim w...

Feb 6th, 2022 - As many as one-half of all patients with suspected gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) do not derive benefit from acid suppression. This review outlines a personalized diagnostic and therapeutic approach to GERD symptoms. The Best Practice Advi...

Nov 16th, 2019 - The purpose of this best practice advice article is to describe the role of Barrett's endoscopic therapy (BET) in patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE) with dysplasia and/or early cancer and appropriate follow-up of these patients. The best pract...

Mar 8th, 2023 - Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a pre-cancerous condition in the esophagus that results from constant acid exposure and is a precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Surprisingly, EAC rates continue to rise despite efforts aimed at addressing BE....

Mar 6th, 2023 - 1 BACKGROUND Precursor Lesions Gastric cancer is the fourth most common cancer and second leading cause of malignant death in the world. It often presents only with vague symptoms of dyspepsia and consequently is frequently diagnosed at advanced s...

Mar 3rd, 2023 - Methodology: Patients with Barrett's esophagus and low grade dysplasia will be recruited in the multicenter trial. Patients will be randomized into endoscopic eradication therapy or endoscopic surveillance. Subjects in the randomized control trial...

Feb 27th, 2023 - However, the investigators hypothesized, that additional lesions can potentially be identified by simultaneous use of two targeted tracers because of variable expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and epidermal growth factor r...

Feb 22nd, 2023 - Cryoballoon ablation is a relatively new ablation technique for the treatment of dysplastic Barrett's esophagus (BE). Previous studies with this technique have shown that treatment is safe and effective. When compared to other ablation techniques,...

Dec 7th, 2022 - Nearly half of patients discharged from a hospital had inappropriate proton pump inhibitor (PPI) prescriptions, suggests a retrospective analysis of an Israeli healthcare database that showed no improvements in prescribing patterns over time. The ...

Oct 31st, 2022 - Adults with chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are at increased risk for Barrett's esophagus (BE) — the precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) — but most don't undergo recommended screening, new research shows. Jennifer Kolb, MD,...

Oct 17th, 2022 - In primary care, transnasal endoscopy without sedation might be the solution for an easier and simpler route to early diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer. The growing prevalence of Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer have ...
