524 timeline and location of recurrence following successful ablation in dysplastic barrett's esophagus: an international multicenter study.

Surveillance intervals and biopsy protocols after complete remission of intestinal metaplasia (CRIM) post radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in Barrett ’s esophagus (BE) are intensive and not based on substantial evidence. We aimed to assess the timeline, location, and histology of recurrence following CRIM with the goal of assessing appropriateness of current recommendations.
