Abstract
|
|
|
|
Barrett’s esophagus is a premalignant condition, with dysplasia usually preceding the development of adenocarcinoma. Although Barrett’s esophagus rarely progresses to adenocarcinoma in Asian population, the diagnosis and optimal management is a matter of debate. Current treatment guidelines include relieving gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms with medical or surgical measures and surveillance endoscopy. However, there is no verified treatment or management strategy shown to reduce moratlity rates of adenocarcinoma arising from Barrett’s esophagus. In this review, the currently applied treatment modalities (medical, surgical and endoscopic treatment) of Barrett’s esophagus will be introduced.
