481 000 new cases (3.8% of the total) oesophageal cancer estimated in 2008
The sixth most common cause of death from cancer with 406 000 deaths (5.4% of the total).
More than 75% of the cases in developing countries are squamous
More than 60% of the cases in western countries are adenoca
280 000 new cases of LGD and HGD BE are expected in 2012
Incidence of BE is increasing in men under 60 years

Key Features for the Endoscopic Recognition of Barrett’s Esophagus
Locate gastro-oesophageal junction
Recognise the squamocolumnar junction
Describe extent consistently
Endoscopic recognition of the columnar lined esophagus
Endoscopic BE: Prague C&M Criteria
• Based on – Circumference and Maximum extent
• Patient with 5 cm long Barrett’s, distal 2 cm circumferential and proximal 3 cm in form of a tongue
Barrett’s: C2M5

M5
Sharma P et al, Gastroenterology 2006
• Endoscopic surveillance using white-light endoscopy (WLE)
• Random 4-quadrant biopsies of every 1 to 2 cm of the BE segment (Seattle protocol)
• Targeted biopsies of any endoscopically visible
lesions

Praga & Seattle protocol
• Praga classification adopted in less 40%
• Seattle protocol adherence <50%
• Correct sampling and collection of specimens 35%
• High Res/Def scope used randomly
• Only those centers with research interest in BE showed excellent compliance
Sharma P, DDW 2012
Barrett’s Inspection Time (BIT)
Longer BIT led to more HGD/EAC detection (p=0.001) despite no difference in BE length (p=0.10)
Gupta N et al. GIE 2012
What look for and how
• Mucosal irregularities/nodulesMucosal irregularities/nodules– Acetic acid
– Methylene blue
– Electronic chromoendoscopy
• Pit patternPit pattern– Methylene blue and electronic chromo
• Vascular patternVascular pattern– Electronic chromoendoscopy
- Sedation
- Esophagus should be carefully cleaned
- Scope gradually withdrawn in inflated fashion
- Esophagus should gradually be deflated to reveal any
irregularities maybe stretched out during inflation
- Special attention at area between 12 and 6 o’clock
- Inspect in retroflexed position when hiatal hernia
Careful and dedicated technique

• Grading dysplasia is difficult for pathologists
• Is low-grade always low-grade?

How dangerous is “real” LGD?
Treatment is related to different factors
• Grade/Stage of BE neoplasia• Endoscopic morphology (flat vs nodular lesion)
• Extension of the neoplasia (multifocal vs single dysplatic area)
• Site of the BE• Extension of the BE• Previous treatments
Ideal treatment for LGD (& NDBE)
• Safe (<1% SAE’s for LGD, <0,1 for NDBE)
• Effective (reducing cancer risk)
• Minimally invasive
• Obviating need for future surveillance
• Not more expensive than ??? yrs of surveillance
• EMR? MBM? PDT? RFA? Cryo?

How effective is RFA?
• RFA extensively studied for HGD and early ca
• Often combination of mucosectomy with RFA
• RFA has excellent results in expert hands
• RFA is only a small part of patient care– High quality endoscopy (team + equipment)
– Expert pathology
– Counselling

DEFINITION OF HGD AND EARLY CANCER DEFINITION OF HGD AND EARLY CANCER ON BARRETT’S ESOPHAGUSON BARRETT’S ESOPHAGUS
High-grade dysplasia exhibits more severe cytologic atypia and greater architecturalcomplexity than does low-grade, but the cutoff between low-grade and high-grade dysplasia is difficult to define.
In high grade dysplasia the neoplastic glands are irregularly shaped and are morecrowded, separated only by thin strands of fibrovascular tissue.

How much frequent is HGD on flat Barrett?
• 150 cases of nodular lesions or focal abnormalities
• 143 flat mucosa
• Flat lesions were associated with a reduced risk of HGD or invasive cancer

Endoscopic approach for early EC is the most effective and less expensive option:
a decision analysis model
The position of the threshold is determined by 5-year survival rate after endoscpic therapy among N+ pts: 10%, 20%, 25%

• EUS erroneously classified T3-T4 in 42 pts (16%)
• EUS is insesitive for N+, but with high specificity
• EUS is completely insensitive for M+

EUS performance in EC: overstaging and understaging
Pech O, Endoscopy, 2010
Reasons for poor EUS performance
• Microscopic definition of disease
• Hiatal ernia
• No water assistance
• Duplication of muscolaris mucosae
Endoscopic Resection (ER)
• ER allows for histological correlation, enabling optimal selection of patients for endoscopic treatment.
• However, after focal ER for early Barrett neoplasia, metachronous lesions are observed in 30% during follow-up.
Endoscopic Resection Techniques
• Standard snare resection
• Cap assisted resection
• Band-ligator assisted
• Submucosal dissection

WITH BAND-LIGATOR
ER-cap techniqueER-cap technique
Multi-Band Mucosectomy (DuetteR)
How to chose the right approach
• Location
• Extension of the targeted area
• Presence of visible nodules

EMR for HGD or IMC (visible lesions)
Randomized, controlled trial in tertiary-care and community-care centers.
Piecemeal ER was performed by using ER-cap (n 42) or MBM (n 42).
Outcome Measurements: Safety, efficacy, procedure time, costs.
Results: Procedure time (34 vs 50 minutes; P .02) and costs (€240 vs €322; P .01) were significantly less with MBM compared with ER-cap. MBM resulted in smaller resection specimens than ER-cap (18 13 mm vs 20 15 mm; P .01).
Maximum thicknesses of specimens and resected submucosa were not significantly different.
There were no clinically relevant bleeding episodes. Four perforations occurred, 3 with ER-cap, 1 with MBM
Rouw PE, GIE 2011
In this intense, structured training program, the first 120 esophageal endoscopic resections performed by six participants were associated with a 5.0% perforation rate5.0% perforation rate.
Although perforations were adequately managed, performing performing 20 endoscopic resections may not be 20 endoscopic resections may not be sufficient to reach sufficient to reach the peak of the learning curve in endoscopic resection

Ell C, UEGW 2010
• “Low-risk”: sm1, type I/II, no vascular or lymphatic involvement, well or moderately differentiated
• 21 patients: 19 treated by endoscopy
• Complete remission obtained in 95% (18/19) over 5.3 months
• ER is associated with favorable outcomes even in case of “low-risk” submucosal Barrett Cancer.

A total of 47 patients’ initial mucosectomy slides were reviewed
Buried BE underneath the squamous resection margin was identified in 13/47 patients (28%)
The linear distance of the Barrett’s epithelium from the resection’s squamous margin ranged from 0.8 to 5.6 mm (mean 2.3 mm and median 1.9 mm).
Histopathology revealed nondysplastic buried BE in 3 patients, HGD in 9 patients, and IMC in 1 patient.

Endotherapy vs SurgeryThis Cochrane review has indicated that there are
no randomised control trials to compare managementoptions in this vital area, therefore trials should be
undertaken as a matter of urgency
The problems with such randomised methods are:1)Standardising surgery and endotherapy
2)Standardising histopathology3)Assessing which patients are fit or unfit for surgery
4)At least 5 years survival
