| pubmed-article:16760758 | pubmed:abstractText | Barrett's esophagus continues to be a popular topic among clinicians and researchers alike. Population based studies have finally been undertaken to better identify subset populations at high risk of developing Barrett's esophagus, and possible better tolerated alternatives to standard endoscopy for cost-effective screening. In addition, several studies over the past year have marked a transition from identifying those with Barrett's esophagus and in need of intensive surveillance, to an increasing number of novel treatment therapies that are now primed to move from experimental protocols to clinical practice. | lld:pubmed |
