Abstract
The risk of malignant degeneration in patients with Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is well known. However, the potential benefits of close surveillance of such patients in terms of the early detection of cancer and the results of esophagogastrectomy following its early detection remain poorly documented. This study was undertaken to determine whether or not there are clearly identifiable benefits from close surveillance of patients with benign BE.
