Update: 2025-09-26
Description
In this episode of GI101, host Dr. Christina G. Gonzales, DMSc, MPAS, PA-C, reviews Barrett’s Esophagus—a metaplastic change of the distal esophagus caused by chronic GERD—and its progression risk to Esophageal Adenocarcinoma, the most common esophageal cancer in the United States. You’ll learn hallmark features of Barrett’s, how it differs from squamous cell carcinoma, key risk factors such as obesity and reflux, and the role of endoscopic surveillance and biopsy. We’ll also cover diagnostic evaluation and management strategies for adenocarcinoma, including endoscopic resection, surgery, and chemoradiation.
