Abstract

The management of Barrett's-related neoplasia has benefited from advances in endoscopic assessment, resection, and ablation, along with improved pathologic and radiographic staging. The development of specialized, high-volume esophageal multidisciplinary teams, with improvements in patient selection, preparation, perioperative care, minimally invasive operative approaches, and enhanced recovery after surgery programs, has contributed to improved outcomes for patients undergoing esophagectomy for Barrett's-related neoplasia.

Keywords: Barrett’s esophagus; Esophageal cancer; Esophagectomy; High-grade dysplasia; Intramucosal carcinoma; Minimally invasive surgery.
