ASGE Annual Postgraduate Course Endoscopy 2022 (On-Demand): Breakthrough to Excellence-Reducing post endoscopy Barrett's neoplasia: Quality Endoscopy

Reducing post endoscopy Barrett's neoplasia: Quality Endoscopy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is a presentation on post-endoscopy Barrett's neoplasia and its importance in detecting and preventing esophageal cancer. The speaker discusses the relevance of post-endoscopy neoplasia by comparing it to post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer. They highlight the increasing incidence of visible lesions, high-grade dysplasia, and cancer on initial endoscopies. The speaker emphasizes the need for high-quality endoscopies, including careful inspection, adequate sampling, and appropriate recognition of neoplasias. Education and ongoing training are also recommended to improve neoplasia detection rates. The presentation concludes by suggesting two quality metrics for Barrett's esophagus: inspection time and neoplasia detection rate. The aim is to identify and treat high-grade dysplasias and cancers during the initial endoscopy to prevent invasive cancer.
