IBD & Barrett

Gastrointestinal cancer such as in the colon in the case of inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's and colitis) or esophagitis in the case of mucosa named after Barrett is one of the most feared complications. As a result, these patients are required to be monitored more closely than the normal population.

In the past due to the inability for orderly follow-up and effective treatment many of the patients would arrive at major surgeries such as esophagectomy or colon too quickly.

NOW TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES AND INFORMATION GATHERED IN THE ENDOSCOPIC FIELD, HAVE DRAMATICALLY CHANGED THE PROCESS OF DECISION-MAKING AND PATIENT MANAGEMENT. More and more in the world, endoscopic access is accepted as the approach of choice for monitoring and treating these patients for the purpose of cancer prevention.

However, preventing cancer by identifying and treating pre-cancerous lesions (dysplasia) still poses a professional challenge, requiring great skill and experience. Therefore, it is important that it be carried out in specialized centers on 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 usual tests. In the case of a precancerous lesion, it is important to carry out a complete resection and subsequent close follow-up.
