Barrett's Esophagus: Emerging Evidence for Improved Clinical Practice is a comprehensive reference on the treatment and new imaging modalities of Barrett's Esophagus for researchers, clinicians, and scholars. Each chapter is composed from the perspective of investigators who summarize the data as well as the reasoning behind why those studies were conceived. In addition, the future directions of research are discussed within each chapter, providing insights from the investigators. Research questions are described, and cutting-edge applications are explained. Each chapter contains clinical scenarios to highlight the directions in which the research is, and should be, heading. - Provides a perspective into the research behind Barrett's Esophagus - Emphasizes the emerging technologies in surveillance and treatment of Barrett's - Features clinical scenarios to highlight the directions in which research is, and should be, heading - Includes coverage of current guidelines and discussions on where these guidelines fall short

Barrett's Esophagus gives an extensive overview written by the world's leading experts covering the epidemiology, gastroenterology and surgery, as well as the molecular basis of: the precursor lesions leading to the development of Barrett's epithelium; the unique characteristics of Barrett's esophagus; the consequences of malignant degeneration, i.e. adenocarcinoma. All aspects in terms of diagnosis, secondary prevention, multimodality, medical and surgical treatment are elucidated.

This book focuses on Barrett’s Esophagus (BE), a clinical condition that must be evaluated in all patients affected by chronic GERD, and with an important link to esophageal cancer. Divided into four sections (morphological background, epidemiology and natural history, diagnosis, and treatments), this handy volume provides the latest indications regarding endoscopic approaches (first level and advanced endoscopy), pathological studies (pathology and molecular biology), and state-of-the-art therapeutic options (medical, endoscopic, and surgical) for BE. As such, it offers a valuable reference guide for all professionals involved in the management of BE (gastroenterologists, endoscopists, pathologists and surgeons), offering them a comprehensive overview and deeper understanding of this seemingly superficial disease.

Esophageal Cancer and Barrett’s Esophagus, 3E, focuses on these two common and key conditions that affect the esophagus, providing expert guidance to their pathogenesis, cause, prevention, diagnosis and clinical management. Top international names in the field examine each of the many issues involved, using the very latest evidence-based research, and clear, didactic advice allows the reader to understand the best methods of diagnosis and clinical management of each condition – whether early or late stage. Well-illustrated and fully revised to include the latest in ACG/ASG/UEGW guidelines, it is the perfect consultation tool for gastroenterologists and oncologists managing patients with cancer of the esophagus. It is also ideal for teaching residents and fellows optimum patient management, and for identifying areas requiring future research.

This 6th volume of OESO has the advantage to address a topic which is at the forefront of concern for all those involved with disease of the upper digestive tract: an entity inserted in the epidemiological sequence of GERD, a benign affection among the most widespread in the world, Barrett's esophagus, has become today a problem of Public Health. Its recognised propensity to degenerate has, in fact, made it one of the benign lesions of the upper digestive tract which legitimately arouses the convergent interest of clinicians, as well as those devoted to fundamental research. Large scale epidemiological studies, the development of even sharper means for early detection of the precursory signs of its degeneration, the extreme diversity of the treatments available today, all lend new perspectives to the different centres of interest of this book.

Barrett's esophagus is a disorder in which the lining of the esophagus is damaged by stomach acid. People suffering from this disorder are at an increased risk for esophageal cancer. Barrett’s Esophagus: The 10th OESO World Congress Proceedings explores the lingering controversies around this condition as well as many advances in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of this disease. The volume consists of concise commentaries from over 250 experts on all aspects of Barrett's esophagus, from incidence and etiology to treatment. This volume stems from the 10th World Organization for Specialized Studies on Diseases of the Esophagus (OESO). The scientific scope of the OESO conferences is broad and includes advancement in all disorders of the upper gastrointestinal tract, including physiology and pathophysiology of gastrointestinal motility or mucosal disorders.
