Impact of endoscopic mucosal resection in patients referred for endoscopic management of Barrett's esophagus

Conclusion Mucosal biopsies and EMR results were discrepant in 63% of cases, with 53% resulting in an upstaged diagnosis. Approximately one-third of these patients had a change in management. In patients referred for BE, EMR was found to be fundamental to accurate grading and should be a component in the evaluation and management of Barrett-related lesions.
