HOW I APPROACH IT protection against unresectable neoplasia provided by EET (8). Evidence-based surveillance intervals may be available in the near future, based on risk factors such as patient age, BE segment length, and baseline histology (Figure 1)(7). In the interim, the currently recommended intervals (Table 1), generated by expert consensus, may be used. In patients who change providers after ablation, the physician assuming the patient’s care should confirm the initial degree of dysplasia, so that appropriate surveillance intervals may be planned. The decision to stop routine surveillance due to advancing age or co-morbid conditions is best handled on a case-by-case basis. While the utility of surveillance endoscopy would be expected to decrease with diminishing life expectancy, it should also be noted that incident cancer was more common in older patients following EET than younger patients (7).
