The clinical management of BE patients aims to control esophageal reflux to reduce mucosal injury and neoplastic progression, and to detect early neoplastic lesions in Barrett’s mucosa, suitable for curative endoscopic treatment.

The interpretation of these histological changes is subjective and suffers from considerable inter-observer variation among pathologists. READ MORE
