Filter by:The goal of this study is to optimize Barrett's Esophagus (BE) screening to reduce the incidence, morbidity, and mortality of Esophageal Adenocarcinoma (EAC).
The NvisionVLE® Dysplasia Detection Pilot Study is a prospective, non-randomized trial for participants who have a prior biopsy-confirmed diagnosis of BE with dysplasia and are scheduled to have an endoscopic evaluation of your esophagus for BE surveillance by a standard procedure called EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) as well as an imaging procedure called VLE (volumetric laser endomicroscopy).
Assess Cryoablation (CryoBalloon Ablation cryotherapy) for treatment of Dysplastic Barrett's Esophagus, Esophageal Squamous Dysplasia and early Esophageal Cancer. The cryoablation treatment will be offered as an alternative to standard ablation therapies such as Radiofrequency Ablation, Argon Plasma Coagulation and carbon dioxide Cryotherapy).
The purpose of this research is to test the feasibility, sensitivity, and specificity of the marking Optical Frequency Domain Imaging (OFDI) capsule for diagnosing Barrett's Esophagus (BE).
This research study is trying to determine whether Barrett's esophagus and associated esophageal cancers, specifically esophageal adenocarcinoma are inherited in certain families. Persons who are affected with Barrett's esophagus or esophageal cancer (adenocarcinoma type) are asked to complete a questionnaire that determines their habits and asks a detailed family history. Family members of patients seen at University Hospitals of Cleveland are also being recruited for screening tests of their esophagus. The investigators plan to eventually screen family members at all participating institutions. This research will eventually lead to the identification of inherited genetic changes that cause Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer. It will help the investigators develop better methods for preventing or identifying esophageal cancer at an early curable stage.
