Conclusion Barrett's esophagus is probably a more common condition than previously recognized. Although the classic radiologic findings of Barrett's esophagus are present in only a small percentage of patients, this condition should be suspected whenever reflux esophagitis or peptic strictures are demonstrated on double-contrast esophagography. Recent literature also suggests that Barrett's carcinomas comprise up to 50% of all esophageal cancers. Because of the increased risk of developing adenocarcinoma in Barrett's esophagus, endoscopic surveillance has been advocated to detect dysplastic or carcinomatous changes at the earliest possible stage. When barium studies are performed on patients with known Barrett's esophagus, the radiographs should be carefully evaluated for signs of early adenocarcinoma, so these patients can be referred for appropriate management prior to the development of advanced, unresectable tumors.
