| Abstract: | A patient with Barrett's esophagus progressed to adenocarcinoma, despite antireflux operation, adequate medical therapy, and
regular yearly surveillance by esophageal function tests and endoscopic biopsy. This case stresses the need for closer follow-up
of patients with Barrett's esophagus even after adequate control of gastroesophageal reflux by anti-reflux surgery. |
