Mistakes in the endoscopic diagnosis and management of Barrett’s oesophagus and how to avoid them

Apostolis Papaefthymiou, Cormac Magee, Rehan Jamil Haidry

Summary

AI Generated

This material addresses common mistakes in the endoscopic diagnosis and management of Barrett's oesophagus, the precursor to oesophageal adenocarcinoma, and provides guidance on how to avoid them.

  • Barrett's oesophagus is the precursor to oesophageal adenocarcinoma, which carries a poor prognosis, and is likely to be encountered by all endoscopists and gastroenterologists in clinical practice.
  • Endoscopic surveillance and endoscopic endotherapy aim to reduce the risk of progression to invasive adenocarcinoma through careful assessment and management.
  • Careful multidisciplinary management is important to reduce the risk of causing patients to become unduly concerned.
  • The material presents common mistakes made in endoscopic diagnosis and management based on the authors' experience and offers advice on avoidance strategies.
  • This material would be most relevant to endoscopists and gastroenterologists managing patients with Barrett's oesophagus.

Abstract

Barrett’s oesophagus is the precursor to oesophageal adenocarcinoma, which carries a poor prognosis, and it is likely that all endoscopists and gastroenterologists will encounter Barrett’s oesophagus in their clinical practice. Careful assessment and management of patients who have Barrett’s oesophagus with endoscopic surveillance and endoscopic endotherapy aim to reduce the risk of progression to invasive adenocarcinoma. Advances in endoscopic diagnosis and therapy should, therefore, help to reduce the risk of progression. As with all premalignant conditions and surveillance programmes, careful multidisciplinary management of the patient is important to reduce the risk of causing them to become unduly concerned. Here, we present some mistakes that in our experience are commonly made in the endoscopic diagnosis and management of Barrett’s oesophagus and give advice on how to avoid them.

Abstract

Abdominal distension and bloating are among the most frequently misunderstood complaints in gastroenterology. They are often used as interchangeable terms, a conceptual mistake that continues to drive diagnostic errors and ineffective treatment. According to Rome IV, bloating and distension may represent either a primary disorder of gut–brain interaction (DGBI) or occur as symptoms with other DGBIs, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional dyspepsia (FD) or functional constipation (FC).

Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common and deadly disease. Advances in understanding the disease have improved diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Genetic factors play a role in some cases of CRC, and identifying hereditary disorders has helped reduce morbidity and mortality. Serrated polyps are also precursors of CRC, and colonoscopy is crucial for screening and prevention. However, colonoscopy is not perfect, and some lesions may be missed. Here we discuss common mistakes in CRC diagnosis, prevention, and treatment, and how to avoid them.

Abstract

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains an important global health concern. It is estimated that there are approximately 50 million people infected with HCV globally, with around 1 million new infections each year and about 242,000 deaths annually attributed to HCV-related complications. Most acute HCV infections (55–85%) become chronic due to the virus’s effective evasion strategies, with spontaneous clearance being rare once chronicity is established. This condition often progresses silently, with many individuals unaware of their infection until advanced liver damage has occurred. If left untreated, HCV can lead to severe complications, including liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCV transmission occurs mainly through percutaneous exposure to infected blood. HCV can also spread from mother to infant (vertical transmission) and, less frequently, via sexual contact.1,2 In recent years, the introduction of oral direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), with remarkable safety and effectiveness profiles, has led to a sustained virological response (SVR) in virtually all (>97%) HCV-infected patients, regardless of HCV genotype or disease stage. However, significant barriers remain, such as issues with diagnosis, access to treatment and awareness of the disease.

Here, we discuss some of the misconceptions in HCV management and provide a practical management approach grounded in evidence and clinical experience.

Abstract

Long-term enteral nutrition via gastrostomy is a relatively common medical intervention for patients at risk of malnutrition who have an accessible and functioning gastrointestinal tract. There are clear clinical guidelines describing the principles of practice as well as numerous retrospective and non-randomised controlled studies and case series. However, fewer publications impart advice and guidance regarding the management and ‘patient selection’ for these interventions. The following article provides a combination of the author’s views and the evidence base.
