| Core Tip |
Various endoscopic approaches and advancements have shown great promise. However, careful endoscopic observation and stepwise four quadrant biopsy still represent the standard for the surveillance of Barrett's esophagus (BE). In our study, we investigated the usefulness of magnifying endoscopy for the diagnosis of specialized intestinal metaplasia (SIM) in patients with short-segment BE compared with methylene blue chromoendoscopy. We found that the magnified observation of a short-segment BE according to its mucosal pattern and classification can be predictive of SIM. |
