2 Comparative Effectiveness of Novel Techniques for Barrett s Esophagus Screening in the Community: A Prospective Randomized Trial Gastrointest Endosc 2014; 79 (5S) [Abstract 160] AB Comparative Effectiveness of Novel Techniques for Barrett s Esophagus Screening in the Community: A Prospective Randomized Trial (cont d) Screening for Barrett s controversial Cost is major reason Transnasal EGD is less expensive (no sedation, etc.) Patients randomized to TNE or sedated EGD 2

3 Comparative Effectiveness of Novel Techniques for Barrett s Esophagus Screening in the Community: A Prospective Randomized Trial (cont d) Results: Each completed at same rate Sedated better tolerated, shorter esophagus evaluation time Biopsy success better with sedated EGD Findings overall similar Conclusion: TNE feasible for screening A FISH Biomarker Panel for the Prediction of High-grade Dysplasia and Adenocarcinoma in Non- Dysplastic Barrett s Esophagus: Results from a Long-term Prospective Cohort Study Gastrointest Endosc 2014; 79 (5S) [Abstract 164] AB

4 A FISH Biomarker Panel for the Prediction of High-grade Dysplasia and Adenocarcinoma in Non-Dysplastic Barrett s Esophagus: Results from a Long-term Prospective Cohort Study (cont d) Stratifying risk for Barrett s difficult Biomarkers are still under investigation Prospective study in 428 non-dysplastic patients P16, 53 Her-2/neu, 20 q and MYC aneuploidy -16, aneuploidy double risk for HGD/EAC Increase risk to 2%/year Conclusion: Markers may be useful but still not mainstream 4
