AGA has just released a new clinical guideline, published in Gastroenterology, on endoscopic eradication therapy for Barrett’s esophagus. Thank you to our authors: Drs. Joel H. Rubenstein, Tarek Sawas, Sachin Wani, Swathi Eluri, Shailendra Singh, Apoorva K. Chandar, Ryan B. Perumpail, John Inadomi, Aaron P. Thrift, Alejandro Piscoya, Shahnaz Sultan, Siddharth Singh, David Katzka, Perica Davitkov “While the benefit is clear for patients with high-grade dysplasia, we suggest considering endoscopic eradication therapy for patients with low-grade dysplasia after clearly discussing the risks and benefits of endoscopic therapy,” said guideline author Dr. Tarek Sawas. “A patient-centered approach ensures that treatment decision is made collaboratively, taking into account both the medical evidence and the patient’s preferences and values. Surveillance is a reasonable option for patients who place a higher value on harms and a lower value on the uncertain benefits regarding reduction of esophageal cancer mortality.” Read more: https://ow.ly/1oig50RIooX

AGA has released a new clinical practice update on high-quality upper endoscopy. Thanks to Drs. Satish Nagula, Sravanthi Parasa, Loren Laine and Shailja Shah for laying out nine best practice advice statements for how to perform a high-quality upper endoscopic exam. Key takeaways: 🔑The same rules for colonoscopy apply: Clean thoroughly, look carefully and withdraw slowly. 🔑Endoscopists should perform biopsies for the evaluation and management of foregut conditions using standardized biopsy protocols. 🔑Endoscopists should document whether subsequent surveillance endoscopy is indicated and, if so, provide appropriate surveillance intervals.
