BACKGROUND: The yield of early repeat endoscopy in patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE) is not well established.AIMS: To determine how often early repeat endoscopy detected missed dysplasia or esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) in a population-based cohort of patients with BE. Secondary aims were to

Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a precursor of esophageal adenocarcinoma and is associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease, which is often preceded by a hiatal hernia. We describe a case of esophageal adenocarcinoma arising in long-segment BE (LSBE) associated with a hiatal hernia that was successf

BACKGROUND: Detecting early neoplasias in Barrett's oesophagus (BE) is challenging. Recent publications have been focusing on improving the detection of such lesions during Barrett's surveillance. However in a recently published Danish register study calculating the risk for cancer-development in BE
