AB  - Barrett’s esophagus, a risk factor for esophageal adenocarcinoma, often goes undetected because it has no defining symptoms that distinguish it from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Several promising techniques could lead to more effective prevention, identification, and management of this premalignant lesion.
