ASGE Masterclass: Barrett’s Esophagus, GERD and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma (On Demand) | February 2022-Diagnosis of Barrett's Esophagus: Getting to the Next Level

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the diagnosis and detection of dysplasia within the battered esophagus. They explain the current definition of battered esophagus, which includes the extension of a salmon-colored mucosa at least one centimeter or more proximal to the gastroesophageal junction, and the presence of intestinal metaplasia. They also discuss the PROC classification, which involves identifying the diaphragmatic impression, the hiatal hernia, and the extent of the battered esophagus. The speaker then talks about advanced imaging techniques that can be used to improve detection and characterization of neoplasia within the battered segment, including narrowband imaging, conventional chromoendoscopy, volumetric laser endomicroscopy (VLE), autofluorescence imaging, and more. They also mention the ASG PV statement for advanced imaging techniques and discuss the importance of careful inspection and recognition of subtle abnormalities in improving detection rates. The speaker concludes by mentioning the use of artificial intelligence in detecting and delineating barrett's neoplasia.
