Barrett's Esophagus

Comprehensive disease characterization and therapeutic guidance

Barrett's Esophagus can lead to adenocarcinoma
    - One of the fastest growing incidence rates in the United States
    - Endoscopic eradication of Barrett's Esophagus is complex and evolving
 
 Current situation
    - Adherence to guidelines is very limited and can lead to inefficient cancer detection (1)
    - Treatment can be delayed until the next endoscopy procedure
     - Repeat biopsies can alter treatment
    - Endoscopy provides limited insight on the need to treat or re-treat, choice of treatment modality and evaluation of treatment completeness
 
Cellvizio Advantages (2-5)
    - Immediate response and real-time treatment
    - Smarter, more efficient surveillance
    - Less invasive procedure
    - Rule out malignancy “on the spot”
    - Get the right treatment to the right patient
