Endoscopists Missing Cancer in Patients with Barrett’s Esophagus

Recorded August 30, 2023

A recent study shows that 25% of patients newly diagnosed with Esophageal Adenocarcinoma had been told that the upper endoscopy they had in the year before their diagnosis was of no concern.

In this webinar, we learn about the research with study authors Dr. Sachin Wani, Professor of Medicine and Executive Director, Katy O and Paul M Rady Esophageal and Gastric Center of Excellence, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and Dr. Nicholas Shaheen, Chief of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine and Co-Director of the North Carolina Translational & Clinical Research Center (NC TraCS). We learn what patients need to understand about quality endoscopy and the questions they should ask their doctors before undergoing their upper endoscopy to look for potential Esophageal Cancer or Barrett’s Esophagus.
