Case description

Magnifying Endoscopy of gastroesophagic junction. For the surveillance of malignant lesions from Barrett's esophagus, periodic endoscopic examination is necessary with chromoendoscopy or magnifying endoscopy. Treatment strategies are EMR and other endoscopic treatment for mucosal cancer, and surgical treatment for submucosal and advanced cancer. Several surgical modalities are employed depending on the stage of cancerous progression, the location of the cancer in Barrett's esophagus, and the length of Barrett's esophagus.
