Best practice advice

Emerging technologies may significantly alter how we perform endoscopy and serve as adjunctive approaches to impact key quality measures in Barrett’s esophagus (BE) patients including neoplasia detection rate (NDR)/dysplasia detection rate (DDR) and post-endoscopy esophageal adenocarcinoma (PEEC) rates. However, in the short term, improving upper endoscopy quality will rely on well-trained and vigilant endoscopists rather than technology enhancements. The practice of high-quality upper endoscopy is critically important to the success of any BE screening or surveillance program designed to reduce the incidence and mortality associated with PEEC and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC).
