Abstract
GERD is symptoms or complications resulting from the reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus or beyond, into the oral cavity (including larynx) or lung. GERD represents a high health burden. Barrett's esophagus (BE) is one of the most significant complications of GERD. It is defined as the condition in which columnar epithelium replaces the squamous epithelium that normally lines the distal esophagus. A proposed strategy to decrease the risk of death from esophageal cancer is to use endoscopy to screen patients with chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease for Barrett's esophagus. Some new image-enhanced technologies may show efficacy as a screening tool for BE, among them Narrow band imaging technology (NBI) which uses short wavelength light (essentially blue light) for tissue excitation and Chromoendoscopy involves the topical application of dyes at endoscopy to enhance visualization of the mucosal surface architecture. AIM OF THE WORK The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of the narrow band guided biopsy relative to chromoendoscopy guided biopsy in detecting Barrett’s esophagus in chronic GERD patients confirmed by endoscopy and their utility as screening methods for Barrett’s esophagus in chronic GERD patients.
