The goal of this book is to highlight and detail the differing techniques of ablation for the elimination of neoplasia and intestinal metaplasiainBE.Theauthorsareallexpertsintheutilizationofendo- scopic therapy for BE. The latest developments in technology and the mostrecentclinicaldataarereviewed. Additionalchaptersonendoscopicimagingmodalitiestodetectdys- plasia, decision making in the clinical arena, and cost-effectiveness of ablationroundoutthisapproachtothemanagementofBE. High-grade dysplasia and early (intramucosal) adenocarcinoma should not lead to automatic esophagectomy in the current era. Famil- iarity with the availability of ablation techniques is essential for every cliniciandealingwithpatientswithBarrett’sesophagus.

This chapter reviews recent developments in endoscopy-based imaging modalities in patients with Barrett’s esophagus. Key Words: Narrow band imaging, Auto-fluorescence, Confocal microscopy,Spectroscopy,Opticalcoherencetomography INTRODUCTION Several important endoscopic imaging modalities have recently been approved for use and are commercially available. This chapter briefly reviews these developments and the implications for patients with Barrett’s disease, especially advanced dysplasia and mucosal carci- noma. The history of Barrett’s esophagus features several important milestones.NormanBarrettinitiallydescribedacongenitalshortesoph- aguswithulcerationsinthegastriccardia.Later,othersdeterminedthat Barrett’s esophagus represented acquired glandular ulcerations of the distalesophagus[1,2]relatedtoseveregastroesophagealrefluxdisease [3], with increasing rates of dysplasia and adenocarcinoma [4]. Subse- quently,muchoftheinterestinBarrett’sesophagushasfocusedonthe utility of standard resolution white light surveillance endoscopy, with random mucosal biopsies to detect dysplasia and early carcinoma [5]. Recently, important developments in biophotonics have been moving from the laboratory to the gastrointestinal endoscopy unit. Unresolved issuesformostofthesetechnologiesincluderegulatoryapproval,com- mercial availability, demonstration of clinical utility, securing reim- bursement for the required additional time and imaging equipment, as well clarifying the medical–legal issues associated with image interpretation and data storage.
