Current guidelines advise esophagectomy for submucosal esophageal adenocarcinoma (T1b EAC). However, data from retrospective studies suggest that endoscopic follow-up (FU) may be a valid alternative in patients without signs of lymph node metastases (LNM) at baseline…

For training deep learning algorithms in medical imaging, application-specific data is often scarce…

BACKGROUND: Using EsoCheck (EC), a non-endoscopic balloon device for sampling the distal esophagus, coupled with EsoGuard (EG), a DNA based testing screening for Barrett’s esophagus (BE), we have previously reported high sensitivity and specificity for detection of BE among patients with known BE c…

Barrett’s esophagus (BE) with early neoplasia is an indication for endoscopic treatment. Patients with non-dysplastic BE are typically enrolled in an endoscopic surveillance program to enable early detection, and treatment, of BE related neoplasia…

The neoplastic progression risk in Barrett’s Esophagus (BE) increases with increasing BE length. Therefore, some guidelines recommend that patients with ultra long-segment BE ≥10cm (ULS-BE) are referred to an expert center, however, recommendations on further management are lacking…
