Overview
Common complications of Barrett's esophagus include esophageal carcinoma[1], esophageal stricture[2] and esophageal ulcers[2].
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
An increased risk of esophageal cancer. Follow-up endoscopy to look for dysplasia or cancer is often advised.
- The symptoms of Barrett's esophagus usually develop in the fifth/sixth decade of life, and start with symptoms of GERD such as heartburn, regurgitation and dysphagia.
- The symptoms of (disease name) typically develop ___ years after exposure to ___.
- If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].
Complications
- Common complications of Barrett's esophagus include:
Progression
- From low-grade dysplasia to high-grade dysplasia or esophageal adenocarcinoma: 0.5 to 13.4% per year
- From high-grade dysplasia to cancer: 6% per year.[3]
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.
- Depending on the extent of the [tumor/disease progression/etc.] at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor/good/excellent.
- The presence of [characteristic of disease] is associated with a particularly [good/poor] prognosis among patients with [disease/malignancy].
- [Subtype of disease/malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
- The prognosis varies with the [characteristic] of tumor; [subtype of disease/malignancy] have the most favorable prognosis.
