IBD AND BARRETT

Gastrointestinal cancers such as in the colon in case of inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's and colitis) or esophagus in the case of the Barrett's mucosa is one of the most feared complications. As a result, these patients require closer monitoring than the normal population.

In the past, due to the inability for proper follow-up and effective treatment, many patients would end up with major surgeries such as esophageal or colonectomy too quickly.

Now technological advances and information gathered in the endoscopic field, have dramatically changed the decision-making and patient management process. More and more in the world, an endoscopic approach is being accepted as an elective approach to the follow-up and treatment of these patients for the purpose of cancer prevention.

However, the prevention of cancer by identifying and treating precancerous lesions (dysplasia) is still a professional challenge, requiring great skill and experience. As a result, it is important that it be carried out in centers that specialize in the subject.

The tests of early detection and follow-up in these patients require the use of advanced optics and last a long time compared to the regular tests. In the case of a precancerous lesion, it is important to perform a complete resection and subsequent close monitoring.
