Progression of Barrett's esophagus to adenocarcinoma Cancer Barrett oesophagus
Conditions
Interventions
All consecutive patients coming in with a request for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were included, regardless of the clinical indication, between April/2015 and August/2016.
In per
the projection was measured and then biopsies were performed following the Seattle Protocol (Figs. 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7).
The observation time was during the exam. There was no follow-up.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus was determined using upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to detect the presence of columnar mucosa in the esophagus in the shape of digitiform projections, or segments that cover the circumference of the esophagus partially or totally. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. The number of suspected lesions was determined using upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. 2. The size of suspected lesions was measured using previously laser-graded biopsy clamp with 0.5cm intervals, designed by the author, and divided in three groups of interes: Group 1 - projections up to 0.99cm, group 2 - 1.00 to 1.99cm and group 3 - 2.00 to 2.99cm, and then biopsied following the Seattle Protocol. 3. The number of suspected lesions during endoscopic examination was 81, where 59 subjects (72.8%) did not confirm for Barrett's esophagus after histologic exam, and 22 (27.2%) were confirmed, representing 1.74% of sample total | — |
