High grade dysplasia or esophageal adenocarcinoma in patients with a history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery: a case series.

Background:  Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the favored bariatric option in patients with gastroesophageal reflux and Barrett's esophagus because it prevents reflux. Weight loss and decreased reflux following RYGB could theoretically minimize the risk of progression to cancer. We aimed to demonstrate the management of high grade dysplasia (HGD) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) developing in patients after RYGB.
