Increased Prevalence of Barrett's Esophagus in Taiwan: A Prospective Multicenter Study
ABSTRACT Background and Aim With rising rates of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) in Western countries, Barrett's esophagus (BE) has become a growing concern. The increasing prevalence of chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in Taiwan suggests a potential rise in BE cases as well.

Cryotherapy versus radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of dysplastic Barrett’s esophagus with or without early esophageal neoplasia: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Background/Aims Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is the first-line therapy for dysplastic Barrett’s esophagus (BE). Therefore, cryotherapy has emerged as an alternative treatment option.

ABSTRACT Quality standards for upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy are required to identify key quality indicators that are relevant to Australasian endoscopic practice and local patient populations. Such standards will promote equitable access to high‐quality UGI endoscopy for appropriate indications across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.

An investigation of the progression from Barrett's esophagus to adenocarcinoma [PDF]
Barrett's esophagus is a metaplasia of the epithelium of the lower esophagus from a normal squamous appearance to a columnar appearance more typically found in the stomach. It is normally caused by prolonged gastric reflux. While Barrett's esophagus is

Histopathology in Barrett Esophagus and Barrett Esophagus-Related Dysplasia
Pathologic specimens, both biopsies and endoscopic mucosal resections, for Barrett esophagus and Barrett-associated dysplasia and malignancy are common for pathologists in North America, and the incidence in South Asian countries seems to be increasing.

Generalizable Cone Beam CT Esophagus Segmentation Using Physics-Based Data Augmentation [PDF]
Automated segmentation of esophagus is critical in image guided/adaptive radiotherapy of lung cancer to minimize radiation-induced toxicities such as acute esophagitis. We developed a semantic physics-based data augmentation method for segmenting esophagus in both planning CT (pCT) and cone-beam CT (CBCT) using 3D convolutional neural networks.
