Dear Ninja As you have Barretts esophagus but do not have dysplasia. We recommend that if the past two endoscopy and biopsy examinations have confirmed the absence of dysplasia, then you should have another endoscopy after three years. Careful watch is required. Laser treatment or RFA is used in severe dysplasia, while overt malignancy may require surgery, radiation therapy, or systemic chemotherapy but at present you are far away from these conditions. Proton pump inhibitor drugs should be taken by you to prevent further progress. Additionally photodynamic therapy using photofrin is statistically has been found in patient with barrets oesophagus more effective in eliminating dysplastic growth areas than sole use of a proton pump inhibitor. After consulting your physician you can also go for Nissen fundoplication can reduce the reflux of acid from the stomach into the esophagus. Taking low dose of aspirin, have shown evidence of preventing esophageal cancer in Barrett esophagus in few study. The treatment strategy also depends upon your life style and few changes in that is also require so please discuss all these possibilities with your gastroenterologist and get the proper treatment according to his advice. With regards J S Chowhan |

Dear Sir, I sincerely tbank you for your kind advices. I should like to seek your kind advice on the followings: A. Intestinal Metaplasia: I have checked with some doctors here and some of them opined that taking biopsies from Gatro esophageal junction in normally looking esophagues during endoscopy is not indicated (my endoscopy report indicate that the esophagus was normal looking). and inestinal metaplasia at this area (transitional zone between two mucosa types) does not qualify for Barret's. In such a situation what should I do? Is it inestinal metaplasia in the cardia? since I have chronic gastrities_ do you think the intestinal metaplasia is due to the H. pylori induced chornic gastrities? And also do you think I can take low dose (can you suggest the dose also please) Aspirin in this condition with PPI. Also, do you think I can go for genetic test such as P53 aneuplody etc. I have so far done only one endoscopy about one month ago. Should I do it immediately now to cornfirm the diagnosis? B. GERD: I have ongoing GERD. I have burping imediately after meal (continous). Previously I used to have high chest burn. Now it is there but with less intensitiy ( I am taking esomeprazole 20 mg b.d). After taking any food |
