Summary

This study is looking at a cohort of patients who have undergone treatment for Barrett's Esophagus (BE) and who have experienced complete eradication of the disease. The aim of the proposed study is to evaluate the histologic features of the neosquamous epithelium (NSE) following complete eradication of intestinal metaplasia (CE-IM) in patients undergoing routine surveillance biopsies and compare these data to a direct measure of reflux using 24hr pH impedance, to determine the correlation between histology and persistent reflux. These data will allow us to more accurately risk stratify patients for recurrence of BE following EET.
