A prospective cohort study evaluating disease-specific mortality in patients with early-stage Barrett’s esophagus-related neoplasia following endoscopic therapy
To evaluate the incidence of disease-specific mortality (DSM) in patients with high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or low-risk T1 esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) undergoing endoscopic eradication treatment (EET).
Approach:
Key Findings:
The study aims to evaluate the incidence of disease-specific mortality in patients with BE-related neoplasia treated with EET.
Recurrence rates of EAC after 10 years are reported as 4.1%.
Interpretation:
Limitations:
The study is limited to a single tertiary referral center, which may affect generalizability.
A small proportion of patients (<10%) did not consent to the prospective study, relying on retrospective data for those cases.
Conclusion:
The study presents data on disease-specific mortality and outcomes in patients with early-stage neoplasia related to Barrett's esophagus after endoscopic intervention.
