Revisiting Barrett's Esophagus

Beschreibung

This book focuses on Barrett's Esophagus (BE), a clinical condition that must be evaluated in all patients affected by chronic GERD, and with an important link to esophageal cancer. Divided into four sections (morphological background, epidemiology and natural history, diagnosis, and treatments), this handy volume provides the latest indications regarding endoscopic approaches (first level and advanced endoscopy), pathological studies (pathology and molecular biology), and state-of-the-art therapeutic options (medical, endoscopic, and surgical) for BE. As such, it offers a valuable reference guide for all professionals involved in the management of BE (gastroenterologists, endoscopists, pathologists and surgeons), offering them a comprehensive overview and deeper understanding of this seemingly superficial disease.

Rezensionen

"This is a nice book. It is unique in its emphasis on the variety of topics related to Barrett's esophagus, but it is a very focused book, which will lack the global appeal of a more comprehensive one. However, for practitioners who treat patients with GERD and Barrett's, this will be a nice adjunct to their practice." (Peter Nau, Doody's Book Reviews, April 12, 2019)
