    Abstract Endoscopic surveillance of Barrett's esophagus, aiming to detect prevalent dysplasia and adenocarcinoma, followed by effective endoscopic treatment, is an integral part of the esophageal adenocarcinoma prevention paradigm. However, several limitations, such as the subtle appearance of dysplasia, sampling error (inherent in current surveillance protocols), and noncompliance with surveillance recommendations, lead to missed dysplasia and neoplasia, reducing the effectiveness of surveillance as currently practiced. Careful endoscopic assessment with high-resolution white-light endoscopy, dye-based or electronic chromoendoscopy, and comprehensive sampling of the BE mucosa, remains the cornerstone of endoscopic surveillance. Emerging innovations in this area span the gamut of more efficient sampling methods, advanced imaging tools, artificial intelligence, and molecular marker-powered approaches as adjuncts, to identify prevalent and predict incident dysplasia or adenocarcinoma. Development and implementation of validated quality indicators will allow additional advancement of this critical field. These approaches will hopefully enable efficient and effective cancer prevention and treatment.

    Abstract Barrett esophagus (BE) is the only known premalignant precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), a deadly malignancy that carries a dismal prognosis. Guidelines currently recommend screening for BE only in high-risk populations, such as patients with chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and 1 or more additional risk factors. A GERD-centered approach to BE screening likely leads to a large number of missed EAC cases, as the true population prevalence of BE is thought to be much higher than current estimates. Mass screening for BE has been proposed but is fraught with challenges. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy screening is the current gold standard for BE detection, but it is expensive and cumbersome and carries a small potential for unwanted harms. Transnasal endoscopy is simple, cost-effective, and well tolerated, but it has not found widespread acceptance among physicians and patients. Esophageal capsule endoscopy, despite being well tolerated and accepted, has not been shown to be cost-effective. Newer minimally invasive, nonendoscopic techniques for BE screening have shown promise in prospective clinical trials. Pragmatic head-to-head trials comparing these techniques will help determine the path forward and could herald a new future for population-based BE screening.

    Abstract Background: Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for obesity and may decrease the morbidity and mortality of obesity-associated cancers.
    Objective: We investigated the risk of a new diagnosis of Barrett esophagus (BE) following bariatric surgery compared to screening colonoscopy controls.
    Setting: Large national database including patients who received care in inpatient, outpatient, and specialty care services.
    Methods: A national healthcare database (TriNetX, LLC) was used for this analysis. Cases included adults (aged ≥18 yr) who had undergone either sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Controls included adults undergoing screening colonoscopy and an esophagoduodenoscopy on the same day and had never undergone bariatric surgery. Cases and controls were propensity-matched for confounders. The risk of de novo diagnosis of BE at least 1 year after bariatric surgery was compared between cases and controls. Secondary analyses examined the effect of bariatric surgery on metabolic outcomes such as weight loss and body mass index (BMI). The risk of de novo diagnosis of BE in SG was compared with RYGB. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% CI were used to report on these associations.
    Results: In the propensity-matched analysis, patients who had undergone a bariatric surgical procedure showed a significantly reduced risk of de novo BE when compared with screening colonoscopy controls (.67 [.48, .94]). There was substantial reduction in weight and BMI in the bariatric surgery group when compared with baseline. There was no significant difference in de novo BE diagnosis between the propensity-matched SG and RYGB groups (.77 [.5, 1.2]).
    Conclusion: Patients who underwent bariatric surgery (RYGB or SG) had a lower risk of being diagnosed with BE compared with screening colonoscopy controls who did not receive bariatric surgery. This effect appears to be largely mediated by reduction in weight and BMI.
