Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Context:

  • Reflux esophagitis is a common chronic condition.
  • Barrett's esophagus (BM) is a significant complication of reflux esophagitis.
  • The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma is rising.

Purpose:

  • To review the current understanding of Barrett's metaplasia (BM) pathogenesis.
  • To outline diagnostic criteria and surveillance strategies for BM.
  • To discuss treatment options for BM and its link to esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Summary:

  • Barrett's metaplasia (BM) involves the replacement of normal esophageal squamous mucosa with intestinal-type columnar epithelium.
  • BM is diagnosed via endoscopy, often in older males with heartburn, and is a known risk factor for esophageal adenocarcinoma.

  • This review synthesizes literature on BM's development, diagnosis, monitoring, and therapeutic approaches, emphasizing its association with esophageal cancer.

    • Impact:

    • Improved understanding of BM may lead to earlier diagnosis and better patient outcomes.
    • Enhanced surveillance protocols can help detect esophageal adenocarcinoma at earlier, more treatable stages.
    • This review provides a comprehensive resource for clinicians and researchers investigating BM and esophageal adenocarcinoma.
