Case 10-2006: A 66-year-old woman with Barrett's Esophagus with high-grade dysplasia

Article Abstract:

Patients with Barrett's esophagus can be treated with medications to control reflux, such as omeprazole, and observation that includes endoscopy and biopsies at regular intervals, with the frequency depending on the grade of dysplasia. In case 10-2006 of the 66-year-old woman with high-grade dysplasia, surveillance at three-month intervals might be a reasonable strategy, but since she had intramucosal cancer, in addition to high-grade dysplasia, surveillance was not a realistic option for her.
