[Barrett's esophagus: overview].
Revue Médicale de Liège 2002 August
Barrett's oesophagus (BE) is a segment of columnar lined epithelium in the distal oesophagus, above the gastrooesophageal junction. So it is important to localize this junction endoscopically; the proximal margin of the gastric folds is the anatomic landmark. Another important feature of BE is the specialized intestinal metaplasia. In the aetiology of this condition, acid reflux is a primary event but there is evidence that other factors are causal. As BE is a well known premalignant condition, detection of dysplastic epithelium and its severity is the crucial element. Practical guidelines are presented for endoscopic surveillance program. The purpose is the early detection of high grade dysplasia and carcinoma to advise oesophagectomy or endoscopic ablation therapy for patients unfit to undergo surgery.
