Core Tip Barrett's esophagus containing dysplasia confers an elevated risk for developing esophageal adenocarcinoma. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) have both been shown in randomized controlled trials to eradicate Barrett's dysplasia (BD) and reduce the risk for disease progression. We compared the effectiveness, safety, and cost of PDT and RFA in managing BD in consecutive case series performed at single center by single endoscopist. We found that RFA had significantly higher rate of complete histological resolution of Barrett's dysplasia and it was five times less costly than PDT at our institute compared to PDT.
