Managing Esophageal Cancer From the Onset

Guest: Prateek Sharma, MD

Esophageal cancer survival rates greatly decline when the cancer has reached its late stages, so detecting neoplasia in a Barrett's esophagus patient early is a crucial tool in cancer management. What are some emerging endoscopic techniques that can be used for a Barrett's esophageal patient? Dr. Prateek Sharma, professor of medicine in the division of gastroenterology and hepatology at the University of Kansas School of Medicine, discusses the best ways to manage esophageal cancer and Barrett's esophagus patients with host Dr. Mark DeLegge.
