Barret's esophagus is a major risk factor for development of esophageal adenocarcinoma. After diagnosis, regular surveillance is needed based on the grade of dyaplasia.
Overview
- Weak recommendation, moderate-quality evidence: screening in patients with multiple risk factors for esophageal adenocarcinoma:
- Age: > 50 years old
- Sex: male
- Race: white
- Other: chronic GERD, hiatal hernia, elevated BMI (body mass index),and intraabdominal distribution of body fat.
- Strong recommendation, low-quality evidence:
- Recommend against screening general population with GERD and no risk factors.[1]
