The Study of Barrett's Esophagus: What Are the Factors of Progression

This trial is a multi-center clinical and endoscopic outcomes project involving a single large database of patients with Barrett's Esophagus (BE). The initial goal of this project is to define the incidence and prevalence of cancer and high-grade dysplasia (HGD) in patients with BE. Thus, our hypothesis is that systematic collection of data on the natural history of BE and risk factors for progression of BE will provide useful information to develop a decision model for risk stratification and risk reduction strategies in BE.
