Barrett's Esophagus and Associated Dysplasia

Early detection of dysplasia and effective management are critical steps in halting neoplastic progression in patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE). This review provides a contemporary overview of the BE-related dysplasia, its role in guiding surveillance and management, and discusses emerging diagnostic and therapeutic approaches that might further enhance patient management. Novel, noninvasive techniques for sampling and surveillance, adjunct biomarkers for risk assessment, and their limitations are also discussed.
