Pearson's General Thoracic
Surgical and Endoscopic Therapy for the Columnar-Lined Esophagus
Key Points
- Endoscopic surveillance and management are dependent upon on the presence and degree of dysplasia
- Ablative techniques such as radiofrequency ablation effectively eradicate dysplasia and metaplasia
- Endoscopic resection can safely treat esophageal metaplasia, dysplasia and early carcinoma limited to the mucosa and superficial submucosa
- Esophagectomy is no longer considered standard of care for high-grade dysplasia and most intramucosal carcinomas
