Patients With Barrett’s Esophagus and Confirmed Persistent Low-grade Dysplasia at Increased Risk for Progression to Neoplasia

For patients with Barrett’s esophagus (BE), the diagnosis of low-grade dysplasia (LGD) is subjective and reported outcomes vary. We analyzed data from a multicenter study of endoscopic therapy to identify factors associated progression to high-grade … Continue reading

Detection of Sessile Serrated Adenomas in Proximal Colon Using Wide-field Fluorescence Endoscopy

Many cancers in the proximal colon develop via from sessile serrated adenomas (SSAs), which have flat, subtle features that are difficult to detect with conventional white-light colonoscopy. Many SSA cells have the V600E mutation in BRAF. We investigat… Continue reading
