Endoscopic Detection and Eradication of Dysplastic Barrett’s: To Seek and Destroy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the importance of early detection and treatment of neoplastic lesions in Barrett's esophagus. They explain that detecting these lesions can be done through thorough inspection using high-definition endoscopy and retroflexed examination. The speaker emphasizes the need for resection as the first step in treating these lesions and shares examples of the resection procedure. The efficacy of endoscopic treatment in destroying Barrett's adenocarcinoma is presented with data on complete response rates and low rates of complications. Mucosal ablation techniques are also discussed, including radiofrequency ablation and hybrid APC. The speaker concludes by mentioning the potential role of artificial intelligence in aiding detection and treatment in the future.
