Abstract
Background and Aim: Endoscopic resection in BE is usually used for removal of focal lesions with HGD/EC. Studies have shown that these ER's are often irradical and up to 30% of patients develop metachronous lesions elsewhere in the BE during FU. Our aim was to prospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of SRER in patients with HGD/EC in a BE. Patients and Methods: After work-up with high-resolution endoscopy (HRE), video-autofluorescence imaging (AFI), narrow-band imaging (NBI) and EUS, and review of all biopsies by an expert pathologist, pts with HGD/EC in a BE <5 cm, without signs of submucosal infiltration, lymphatic and hematogenous dissemination were included.
