Abstract
Surveillance of Barrett's esophagus is essential for preventing and detecting esophageal cancer, particularly esophageal adenocarcinoma. This article examines the importance of ongoing surveillance before and after Barrett's endoscopic treatment to reduce the risk of progression to high-grade dysplasia or esophageal adenocarcinoma. It highlights the emerging role of adjunctive testing, including biomarkers, advanced imaging, and artificial intelligence to improve diagnostic accuracy. Additionally, the article reviews the latest clinical guidelines for surveillance intervals and timing. Overall, this article aims to provide insights into the evolving landscape of Barrett's Esophagus surveillance.
