Background: Identification and resection of mucosal abnormalities are critical in managing dysplastic Barrett's esophagus (BE) because these areas may harbor esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC).Objectives: To compare mucosal lesion and EAC detection rates in dysplastic BE in the community versus a BE unit and assess the impact of EMR on disease staging and management.Design: Prospective cohort study.Setting: Tertiary referral center. Patients: Patients with dysplastic BE.Interventions: Reassessment with high-definition white-light endoscopy (HD-WLE), narrow-band imaging (NBI), and Seattle protocol biopsies. EMR performed in lesions thought to harbor neoplasia. Review of referral histology and endoscopies.Main Outcome Measurements: Mucosal lesion and EAC detection rates in a BE unit versus the community. Impact of EMR on management.Results: Sixty-nine patients were referred (88% male; median age, 69 years). At referral, HD-WLE/NBI usewas 57%/ 14%, and Seattle protocol adherence was 20%. Eighteen patients had intramucosal cancer. Lesions were detected in 65 patients in the BE unit versus 29 patients at referral (P
