Prior endoscopic surveillance and diagnosis of Barrett-related dysplasia and cancer: evidence from a nationwide Dutch cohort
Regular endoscopic screening for Barrett's esophagus helps catch related cancers at earlier, more treatable stages in real-world practice.
This nationwide Dutch cohort study, published in Gut, assesses whether prior endoscopic surveillance contributes to the detection of Barrett's-related dysplasia and oesophageal adenocarcinoma before symptomatic presentation. The findings validate the population-level impact of surveillance programs on early-stage cancer identification.
