How can you treat Barrett’s Oesophagus?

Depending on the degree of dysplasia, a further course of action and treatment is decided.

1) Low-grade dysplasia – low-grade dysplasia means that you have a few abnormal cells but the majority of cells are not affected.

The doctor prescribes regular monitoring and an upper endoscopy every six months to a year. They may also recommend ablation therapy in a few cases.

2) High-grade dysplasia – high-grade dysplasia requires the removal of affected cells with the help of surgery, cryotherapy or photodynamic therapy.

3) No dysplasia – the physician may recommend changes in your GERD treatment and regular screening along with dietary changes.
