Endoscopic trimodal imaging can detect early neoplasia in Barrett's esophagus

Curvers WL et al. (2008) Endoscopic tri-modal imaging for detection of early neoplasia in Barrett's oesophagus: a multi-centre feasibility study using high-resolution endoscopy, autofluorescence imaging and narrow band imaging incorporated in one endoscopy system. Gut 57: 167–172 Early detection of esophageal adenocarcinoma in patients with Barrett's esophagus greatly improves prognosis; however, surveillance with standard endoscopic techniques can fail to detect early neoplasms.
