Barrett esophagus (BE), defined as intestinal metaplasia of the distal esophageal mucosa, typically results from chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease and is the only known precursor of esophageal adenocarcinoma. The standard of care for the management of early esophageal neoplasia in the setting of BE has changed drastically over the past 15 years. Further investigation into diagnostic and therapeutic adjuncts will continue to improve our ability to control or cure BE before its advancement to a life-threatening malignancy.
巴雷特食管（BE）是指远端食管黏膜的肠化生，通常由慢性胃食管反流病引起，是食管腺癌唯一已知的前体。在 BE 背景下，早期食管肿瘤的管理标准在过去 15 年中发生了巨大变化。进一步研究诊断和治疗辅助手段将继续提高我们在 BE 进展为危及生命的恶性肿瘤之前控制或治愈它的能力。
