Although there may be an overlap between disease- and therapy-related cancers, the general strategy for prevention of cancer in patients with IBD lies in understanding the risk factors for these malignancies, educating patients about the recommended screening and surveillance practices, and incorporating general screening recommendations into routine IBD care. An important limitation to our understanding of the effectiveness of our intervention and prevention strategies is the lack of studies assessing mortality benefit, but in part also a reflection of the low mortality in our IBD population. In practice, it is imperative to weigh the risks of cancer or other treatment-related complications in the context of disease progression as a result of lack of or ineffective treatment for IBD when tailoring a management plan for each patient.</p>","PeriodicalId":43949,"journal":{"name":"PRACTICAL GASTROENTEROLOGY","volume":"45 8","pages":"12-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8547793/pdf/nihms-1747066.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39565600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The natural history of Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is a matter of debate in the gastrointestinal literature. We report two unique presentations of BE, which demonstrate highly variable biologic behavior. This poses a management dilemma when faced with options of surveillance, surgery or ablation modalities. These cases suggest, advancement from HGD to BEAC is not always rapid and the cancer can have variable biologic behavior. We report two interesting cases wherein one developed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and the other developed changes approaching adenocarcinoma. Both remained asymptomatic and died of non-gastrointestinal causes. These cases demonstrate the fact that, patients often do not die from BE or BEAC but most often from concurrent cardiovascular disease. The surveillance endoscopies appear to have made little difference in the quality or duration of their lives. Raja Shekhar R. Sappati Biyyani Linda Chessler James F.
