Patients with chronic heartburn or GERD represent a common and difficult challenge for both internists and gastroenterologists. PPI therapy is the obvious first-line treatment, but what about when PPIs don't solve the problem? When should you begin to suspect Barrett's, and what should you do about it?
The answers are not always clear-cut, and there are few, if any, guidelines to follow. That's why Oakstone Medical, publisher of Practical Reviews in Gastroenterology, is releasing "Management of GERD and Barrett's," an audio CD that provides detailed clinical guidance directly from two of the country's leading experts - William Steinberg, MD, clinical professor of medicine at George Washington University and Roy K. H. Wong, MD, chief of gastroenterology at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and an expert on GERD and Barrett's.
Here's what you'll learn as you listen:
- when to use endoscopy, and why age, race, and duration of symptoms are not always determining factors
- why Barrett's and the associated risk of cancer is the real reason for endoscopy
- classifying GERD and Barrett's patients for cancer risk
- when biopsy is indicated
- how frequently to conduct follow-up endoscopy and/or biopsy in select patients
- short- versus long-segment Barrett's: impact of clinical management and cancer incidence
- why multiple biopsies may be necessary in long-segment Barrett's
- why internists and ENTs
- impedance manometry and its role in diagnosis
- diagnosing bile reflux, and the potential role of Baclofen in treatment
