Quick Summary:

• Barrett’s Esophagus is a condition that results in the transformation of the normal esophageal lining (squamous epithelial lining) to the lining that is similar to the intestinal lining (columnar epithelial lining)
• It can occur in individuals of all ages, but is most common in elderly males, particularly of Caucasian descent
• The exact cause of Barrett’s Esophagus formation is unknown, though chronic heartburn, acid reflux, obesity, and smoking, are all known risk factors of the condition
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is believed to contribute to Barrett’s Esophagus development by causing damage to the esophagus
• An upper GI endoscopy and esophageal tissue biopsy can help diagnose Barrett’s Esophagus
• Treatment of Barrett’s Esophagus depends on the severity of the disease and the extent of dysplasia (abnormal cell proliferation) that is present. Most cases with low-grade dysplasia have a good prognosis
• However, in Barrett’s Esophagus with high-grade dysplasia, there is a chance that it could progress to esophageal cancer
• Preventative measures to reduce the likelihood of developing Barrett’s Esophagus can include diet and lifestyle changes and suitable treatment of GERD
