Case description

The image and the video clip display the APC ablation. Most patients with BE will not develop esophageal cancer and will die of other causes, as in the general population. The risk of progression to adenocarcinoma of the esophagus is estimated at approximately 0.5% per year in patients without dysplasia on initial surveillance biopsies. Why only some people with GERD develop BE also is not clear.
