Barrett's Esophagus and Esophageal

This leading reference text is entirely dedicated to the increasingly significant condition of Barrett 's esophagus. Providing recent evidence and current approaches to patient management. It has been completely revised, updated and extended to include the latest research findings and describes how these affect day-to-day clinical practice.Barrett 's Espohagus gives an extensive overview covering epidemiology, screening, pathology, gastroenterology and surgery. It looks at the precursor lesions leading to the development of Barrett 's epithelium, the unique characteristics of Barrett 's esophagus, and the consequences of malignant degeneration. All aspects of diagnosis, secondary prevention, multimodality, medical and surgical treatment, and management of this condition are clearly explained.This is a complete guide which can be referred to over and over again.
