Because the current Barrett's esophagus (BE) surveillance protocol suffers from sampling error of random biopsies and a high miss-rate of early neoplastic lesions, many new endoscopic imaging and sampling techniques have been developed. None of these...
Randomized trials have demonstrated that ablation of dysplastic Barrett's esophagus can reduce the risk of progression to cancer. Endoscopic resection for early stage esophageal adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma can significantly reduce post...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted detection is increasingly used in upper endoscopy. We performed a meta-analysis to determine the diagnostic accuracy of AI on detection of gastric and esophageal neoplastic lesions and Helico...

Barrett cancer is a treatable disease when detected at an early stage. However, current screening protocols are often not effective at finding the disease early. Volumetric Laser Endomicroscopy (VLE) is a promising new imaging tool for finding dyspla...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The visual detection of early esophageal neoplasia (high-grade dysplasia and T1 cancer) in Barrett's esophagus (BE) with white-light and virtual chromoendoscopy still remains challenging. The aim of this study was to assess wheth...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We assessed the preliminary diagnostic accuracy of a recently developed computer-aided detection (CAD) system for detection of Barrett's neoplasia during live endoscopic procedures.
BACKGROUND: Screening for Barrett's Oesophagus (BE) relies on endoscopy which is invasive and has a low yield. This study aimed to develop and externally validate a simple symptom and risk-factor questionnaire to screen for patients with BE.
IMPORTANCE: Deep learning-based methods, such as the sliding window approach for cropped-image classification and heuristic aggregation for whole-slide inference, for analyzing histological patterns in high-resolution microscopy images have shown pro...
