Case description

The necrotic tissues are being removed. Based on current data, the malignant progression of Barrett's esophagus cannot be substantially prevented by medical or surgical therapy for reflux. Although no firm data are available to show that surveillance strategies can reduce overall mortality from Barrett's cancer, early detection and cure are possible. Management of Barrett's esophagus and carcinoma is reviewed with reference to the sequence of disease from metaplasia to carcinoma.
