Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma in patients with Barrett's esophagus and high-grade dysplasia: a meta-analysis
TL;DR: In patients with BE and with HGD who were undergoing surveillance, esophageal adenocarcinoma develops in approximately 6 per 100 patient-years during the first few years of follow-up, which may better inform physicians and patients in management decisions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The utility of a novel narrow band imaging endoscopy system in patients with Barrett's esophagus.
Prateek Sharma,Ajay Bansal,Sharad C. Mathur,Sachin Wani,Rachel Cherian,Douglas H. McGregor,April D. Higbee,Sandra Hall,Allan P. Weston +8 more
TL;DR: NBI is a novel diagnostic tool with a high degree of accuracy for the detection of metaplastic and dysplastic tissue within the BE segment and was unable to distinguish areas of IM from those with LGD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Standard endoscopy with random biopsies versus narrow band imaging targeted biopsies in Barrett's oesophagus: a prospective, international, randomised controlled trial
Prateek Sharma,Robert H. Hawes,Ajay Bansal,Ajay Bansal,Neil Gupta,Neil Gupta,Wouter L. Curvers,Amit Rastogi,Amit Rastogi,Mandeep Singh,Mandeep Singh,Matthew Hall,Sharad C. Mathur,Sharad C. Mathur,Sachin Wani,Sachin Wani,Brenda J. Hoffman,Srinivas Gaddam,Paul Fockens,Jacques J. Bergman +19 more
TL;DR: Regular appearing NBI surface patterns did not harbour high-grade dysplasia/cancer, suggesting that biopsies could be avoided in these areas, and high-definition white light examinations with NBI can have the same IM detection rate as an HD-WLE examination with the Seattle protocol while requiring fewerBiopsies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Real-time increased detection of neoplastic tissue in Barrett's esophagus with probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy: final results of an international multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled trial
Prateek Sharma,A Meining,Emmanuel Coron,Charles J. Lightdale,Herbert C. Wolfsen,Ajay Bansal,Monther Bajbouj,Jean Paul Galmiche,Julian A. Abrams,Amit Rastogi,Neil Gupta,Joel E. Michalek,Gregory Y. Lauwers,Michael B. Wallace +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the sensitivity and specificity of probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) with HD-WLE alone for the detection of high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and early carcinoma (EC) in BE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Factors for Progression of Low-Grade Dysplasia in Patients With Barrett's Esophagus
Sachin Wani,Gary W. Falk,Jane Post,Lisa Yerian,Matthew Hall,Amy Wang,Neil Gupta,Srinivas Gaddam,Mandeep Singh,Vikas Singh,Keng-Yu Chuang,Vikram Boolchand,Hemanth Gavini,John Kuczynski,Priti Sud,Ajay Bansal,Amit Rastogi,Sharad C. Mathur,Patrick E. Young,Brooks D. Cash,John R. Goldblum,David A. Lieberman,Richard E. Sampliner,Prateek Sharma +23 more
TL;DR: Overall, patients with BE and LGD have a low annual incidence of EAC, similar to nondysplastic BE, and there is significant interobserver variation in diagnosis, even among expert pathologists.
