Summary
Barrett’s oesophagus sits at the crossroads of gastroesophageal reflux disease and oesophageal cancer, making it a condition every clinician should understand. Although most patients with Barrett’s will never develop malignancy, it remains the only identifiable precursor to oesophageal adenocarcinoma, a cancer with rising incidence and high mortality. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at how chronic reflux reshapes the oesophageal lining, who is at greatest risk and how modern surveillance and endoscopic therapies have transformed management. He also discusses evolving guidelines, emerging technologies and practical implications for everyday clinical practice.
