Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic ablation is the primary treatment for dysplastic Barrett's esophagus (BE), primarily utilizing radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and argon plasma coagulation (APC) in Polish medical centers.
- A retrospective analysis of 160 adult patients revealed high rates of complete remission for intestinal metaplasia (80.0%) and dysplasia (93.8%), alongside a manageable adverse event rate, with 30.6% reporting minor and 5.6% major complications.
- The study also identified that RFA, used more for severe cases, had a higher failure rate compared to APC/h-APC, particularly in patients with long-segment BE and diabetes, suggesting specific risk factors for less favorable treatment outcomes
Background And Aims: Cleanliness of the mucosa of the upper GI (UGI) tract is critical for performing a high-quality EGD. The aim of this study was to validate a recently developed UGI cleanliness scale (the Polprep: Effective Assessment of Cleanliness in Esophagogastroduodenoscopy [PEACE] system) in the detection of clinically significant lesions (CSLs) in the UGI tract.
Methods: Patients who underwent a complete diagnostic EGD were prospectively enrolled from August 2021 to October 2022.
Introduction: Precancerous conditions for esophageal (EA) and gastric adenocarcinoma (GA) are Barrett's esophagus (BE) and atrophic gastritis (AG), respectively. Their surveillance is crucial for the detection of early lesions.
Objectives: The study aimed to assess whether one‑timeesophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in search for precancerous conditions would be effective in the population with low‑to‑moderate esophageal and gastric cancer risk.
Cervical inlet patches (CIP) are common endoscopic findings with uncertain pathogenesis and clinical significance. We aimed to perform a systematic review and prospective study of clinical data and endoscopic findings related to CIP. It was a prospective single-center study conducted between 10/01/2017 and 9/01/2018.
