Risk for cancer in Barrett's esophagus: medical versus surgical therapy.

Abstract
Esophageal adenocarcinoma associated with Barrett's esophagus has been increasing in incidence over the past three decades. Our understanding of the risks for the development of esophageal adenocarcinoma in Barrett's esophagus is evolving. Newer treatment options for Barrett's esophagus are being developed in all areas, including endoscopic therapy, surgery, and chemoprevention trials.
