Overview

Effective measures for the secondary prevention of Barrett's esophagus include primary prevention along with endoscopic surveillance every 3-5 years for no dysplasia, 6-12 months for low-grade dysplasia, and every 3 months for high-grade dysplasia in the absence of eradication therapy.

Secondary prevention

Recommendations for secondary prevention of Barrett's esophagus include the primary prevention along with the following:

Weak recommendation, moderate-quality evidence: Endoscopic surveillance in patients with Barrett's esophagus The following intervals are recommended:

  1. Use proton pump inhibitors in doses greater than once daily. There is no evidence that higher doses produce a risk reduction in cancer.
  2. Titrate proton pump inhibitors dose by esophageal pH monitoring.
  3. Anti-reflux surgery. This is not more effective than medical therpay.

Risks and benefits of long-term PPI therapy should be discussed with the patients.
