The 2019 ASGE guideline found insufficient evidence on the effectiveness of screening for Barrett esophagus, but suggested that if screening endoscopy is performed, it should be done in an at-risk population, defined as individuals with a family history of esophageal adenocarcinoma or Barrett esophagus (high risk) or patients with GERD plus at least 1 other risk factor (moderate risk). (medscape.com)
The 2022 ACG guidelines suggest that use of a swallowable, nonendoscopic capsule sponge device combined with a biomarker obtained from the device (trefoil factor 3 [TFF3] or methylated DNA markers [MDMs]) is an acceptable alternative to endoscopy for screening for Barrett esophagus. (medscape.com)

Little evidence supports the assumption that antisecretory agents or antireflux surgery prevents the occurrence of adenocarcinoma or leads to regression of Barrett esophagus. (medscape.com)
However, a number of studies were conducted with either cimetidine or ranitidine, and none documented regression of Barrett esophagus. (medscape.com)
Even so, the supposition that better acid suppression could induce Barrett esophagus regression was met with optimism, and studies on this to date have been inconclusive. (medscape.com)
Currently, the indications for medical therapy in Barrett esophagus-control of symptoms and healing of esophageal mucosa-are the same as those for GERD. (medscape.com)
In addition to acid, the reflux of pancreatic and biliary secretions into the esophagus has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Barrett esophagus. (medscape.com)
However, while studies have shown surgery to be efficacious in the control of GERD symptoms, the results regarding Barrett esophagus regression are inconclusive. (medscape.com)
Thus, antireflux surgery, such as Nissen fundoplication, is not indicated for eradication of Barrett esophagus, but it certainly is reasonable for appropriate patients who desire surgery for control of GERD symptoms. (medscape.com)
With relation to reduction of cancer risk in Barrett esophagus, evidence remains insufficient to recommend surgery over medical therapy, although regression of features associated with cancer risk appears to be more common following surgical intervention than medical therapy. (medscape.com)

The Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care recommends not screening adults with chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) for esophageal adenocarcinoma and precursor conditions (Barrett esophagus or dysplasia), because there is an absence of evidence for benefit, and there are uncertain harms, important resource implications and variable patient values and preferences.

These data demonstrate that NT/ICM on nuclear monolayers is a very promising single platform test of genomic instability, which may aid pathologists in the diagnosis of dysplasia and has potential as a biomarker in BO. (nature.com)
Then, 7 experienced pathologists (4 from the US, 3 from Europe) reviewed pathology slides of patients with BE with varying degrees of dysplasia in a random and blinded fashion. (gi.org)

Progression to Dysplasia1
Although BE persisted in the remaining patients, no progression to dysplasia was observed. (sages.org)
Diagnosis4
Dysplasia is a marker of cancer risk in Barrett's oesophagus (BO), but this risk is variable and diagnosis is subject to inter-observer variability. (nature.com)
Each pathologist received a case report form to fill out per sample, which included the criteria for arriving at the diagnosis, the degree of weighting placed on each of the criteria, and the diagnosis: either non-dysplastic, LGD-dysplasia predominant, LGD-inflammation predominant, or HGD. (gi.org)
At the same time, endoscopic eradication therapies are not indicated for non-dysplastic BE, so getting the diagnosis of dysplasia right is of paramount importance for treatment decisions. (gi.org)
However, detecting and grading dysplasia are routine in histopathological diagnosis as they determine the first signs of tissue changes. (techscience.com)
Oral epithelial1
Although the conclusions mentioned above were reached 16 and 12 years back respectively, the recent research on dysplasia grading agreements in 2014 and 2016 show that the findings are still valid as the agreement on colon and oral epithelial indefinite dysplasia score less than 0.3 kappa (fair agreement) [ 9 , 10 ]. (techscience.com)
Mucosal resection1
In patients with small, discrete nodules or areas of dysplasia in whom disease appears limited to the mucosa or submucosa as assessed by endoscopic ultrasonography, endoscopic mucosal resection should be considered as a diagnostic/staging tool. (medscape.com)
Indefinite1
One patient was indefinite for dysplasia and remained the same after the operation. (sages.org)
Surveillance1
7. In BE patients with dysplasia and IMC who have achieved CE-IM after EET, we suggest surveillance endoscopy versus no surveillance. (guidelinecentral.com)
Tissue4
However, some European and most far Eastern countries use the Vienna classification system, which uses the term "non‐invasive neoplasia" instead of low‐grade dysplasia (LGD) or high‐grade dysplasia (HGD) and also uses the term "suspicious for invasive carcinoma" for lesions that show equivocal cytological or architectural features of tissue invasion. (peoplebeatingcancer.org)
Dysplasia signifies the presence of abnormal cell growth within bodily tissue. (medtronic.com)
