Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated why patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE) and high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or carcinoma in situ (CIS) may not follow recommended surveillance guidelines within three years after treatment.*
-
- Only about 27% of HGD patients and 41% of CIS patients adhered to surveillance during the first year after treatment, but adherence improved in later years.*
-
- Lower surveillance adherence in the first year was linked to reduced detection of recurrence, indicating a need for further research on why patients struggle with adherence and how to improve it.*
