The committee emphasised this reflected their experience with people they see in clinical practice. They agreed a clinical consultation should be offered following diagnosis to provide information and support on the risk of progression to cancer and symptom control, and general information about endoscopic surveillance.</p><p>Providing information both verbally and in written form is helpful as information can be difficult to grasp at a single consultation and written information will enable people to revisit the information when needed. This should include general information about the diagnosis of Barrett's oesophagus, available treatments and any patient support groups.</p><p>The use of complex medical terminology limits people's ability to understand information. The committee agreed it was important that each endoscopy report includes a lay summary of the findings and that this is given to the person.</p></div><div id="cha.s4.1.2"><h4>How the recommendations might affect practice</h4><p>The recommendations are in line with current practice and therefore are unlikely to have a substantial resource impact.</p><p>

The committee agreed there was insufficient evidence to recommend PPIs to prevent progression to oesophageal dysplasia and cancer and decided not to make a recommendation on this.</p><p>The committee agreed there was insufficient evidence to recommend aspirin to prevent progression to oesophageal dysplasia and cancer and decided to make a do not offer recommendation. Evidence showed that participants taking aspirin were more likely to get adverse events than those who did not, but the difference was small and not conclusive. The committee noted this was in line with their clinical experience and knowledge that bleeding is more likely to be seen in people treated with aspirin. They agreed that the inconclusive results could be attributed to a protective effect from PPIs taken by people in both the aspirin and no aspirin study groups.</p><p>Although the committee did not look for evidence on medication use for symptom control, they agreed that acid-suppressant medication such as PPIs are highly effective and widely used in current practice to control symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease in people with Barrett's oesophagus. They decided it was useful to provide a link to the relevant section of the NICE guideline on gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.</p></div><div id="cha.s4.2.2"><h4>How the recommendations might affect practice</h4><p>Aspirin is not currently used to prevent progression to oesophageal dysplasia and cancer. Therefore, the recommendations are not expected to result in a change in current practice or to have a resource impact.</p><p>

Based on this and their clinical experience, the committee agreed it should be offered to people with Barrett's oesophagus provided the person's general health is adequate, and the benefits of surveillance outweigh the risks. The committee noted this is the current standard of care for endoscopic surveillance for Barrett's oesophagus.</p><p>The committee agreed that the risk of complications of endoscopic surveillance should be considered on an individual basis because the frequency and consequences of complications will vary depending on a range of factors, including age, fraility and medical comorbidities. It was agreed that possible complications should be discussed with the person with Barrett's oesophagus.</p><p>Evidence for electronic and conventional chromoendoscopy techniques (including narrow band imaging, acetic acid, methylene blue) as well as endoscopic brushing was obtained from people with dysplasia and early-stage cancer. This means that these techniques have not been validated in an unselected population with Barrett's oesophagus undergoing standard endoscopic surveillance and therefore could not be recommended. A <a href="#cha.s3.1">recommendation for research was made to assess the effectiveness of these techniques for surveillance of Barrett's oesophagus</a>.</p><div id="cha.s4.3.1.1"><h5>Frequency and duration of endoscopic surveillance</h5><p>There was no evidence to support an optimal frequency for endoscopic surveillance as this will differ according to individual risk factors. However, the committee agreed to make a recommendation for frequency of surveillance based on length of segment, in line with the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) guidelines and current practice in the UK.</p><p>The committee agreed that the frequency of surveillance should be tailored to each person based on a clinical assessment of their risk of cancer, with length of segment, being the factor most closely linked to risk of cancer, but age, sex, family history of oesophageal cancer and smoking also being important.</p><p>In line with current practice, there was consensus that people with short-segment (less than 3 cm) Barrett's oesophagus without intestinal metaplasia (confirmed at 2 endoscopies) should not be offered endoscopic surveillance because the risk of disease progression is low in this population and there are risks associated with endoscopic surveillance.</p><p>There was no evidence on the duration of endoscopic surveillance and the committee agreed not to make a recommendation on this.</p><p>The committee emphasised that evidence of clinical and molecular biomarkers associated with a greater risk of progression to dysplasia or cancer could inform setting appropriate intervals for endoscopic surveillance and agreed to make a <a href="#cha.s3.2">recommendation for research on biomarkers</a>.</p></div><div id="cha.s4.3.1.2"><h5>Non-endoscopic surveillance techniques (no recommendations)</h5><p>There was evidence of benefit of using cytosponge to diagnose dysplasia and cancer but the quality was not sufficient to support its use at present.</p><p>Balloon brushing is an old technique that is not currently used in clinical practice. Limited evidence on cytology obtained from balloon brushing showed it could detect oesophageal dysplasia and adenocarcinoma, but the committee agreed there was insufficient evidence to recommend its use in clinical practice.</p><p>There was a lack of evidence on other non-endoscopic surveillance techniques and based on their clinical experience, the committee agreed it was not appropriate to recommend them.</p></div></div><div id="cha.s4.3.2"><h4>How the recommendations might affect practice</h4><p>Endoscopic surveillance is widely used for monitoring people with Barrett's oesophagus. Adherence to the biopsy protocols requires additional procedure time beyond that of a standard endoscopy, but many services have already increased the time allocation for Barrett's surveillance and overall resource impact is not expected to be significant.</p><p>

They agreed that endoscopic resection should be offered to people with suspected stage 1 oesophageal adenocarcinoma as it is the most accurate staging technique and is the gold standard in current practice as recommended by the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) guidelines.</p><p>There are 2 techniques for resection of suspected stage 1 oesophageal adenocarcinoma: endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The evidence did not show superiority of 1 technique over the other so the recommendation does not specify which to use.</p><p>The committee noted, based on their clinical experience, that ESD may offer an advantage in individuals with Barrett's oesophagus-related neoplasia (lesions larger than 15 mm, poorly lifting tumours and lesions at risk for submucosal invasion) but there was no reason to select it routinely over EMR for small slightly elevated lesions because ESD is a complex procedure and is associated with more complications.</p><p>Limited evidence indicated poor diagnostic accuracy of CT as a staging technique for early stage oesophageal adenocarcinoma because the resolution of CT is inadequate in detecting very small tumours and small volume lymph node metastasis. Therefore, there was consensus that CT should not be used before endoscopic resection for staging suspected T1 oesophageal adenocarcinoma.</p><p>Limited evidence on the mini-probe endoscopic ultrasonograph (mini-probe EUS) and the conventional radial endoscopic ultrasonograph (crEUS) showed they cannot distinguish well between T1a and T1b tumours but can detect lymph node metastasis with greater accuracy. Based on the evidence and their clinical experience, the committee agreed that EUS should not be used before endoscopic resection for staging suspected T1a oesophageal adenocarcinoma, as this carries a negligible risk of lymph node metastasis.</p><p>EUS should be considered when an oesophageal lesion is suspected to be T1b cancer based on endoscopic appearances, for example sessile lesions with significant luminal component (Paris 0-Is) or depressed lesions (Paris 0-IIc). It should also be considered for people with confirmed T1b oesophageal adenocarcinoma, who have a significant risk of lymph node metastasis and may benefit from additional oncological treatment, such as radiotherapy alone or in combination with chemotherapy.</p></div><div id="cha.s4.4.2"><h4>How the recommendations might affect practice</h4><p>These recommendations are in line with current practice and therefore will not have a resource impact.</p><p>

Based on clinical experience the committee recommended that high-grade dysplasia be endoscopically resected, when oesophageal lesions are visible at endoscopy, and the residual Barrett's oesophagus be treated with endoscopic ablation.</p><p>There are 2 techniques for resection of dysplastic lesions in Barrett's oesophagus: endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). There is no evidence of superiority of 1 technique over the other so the recommendation does not specify which to use.</p><p>The evidence indicated that both radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and argon plasma coagulation (APC) are effective in reducing the risk of recurring oesophageal lesions in people who have received an endoscopic resection for high-grade dysplasia. However, the committee noted that for very long segment Barrett's oesophagus RFA might be more practical than APC, which has a significantly smaller ablation catheter than RFA. Given that there is no evidence of superiority of one ablation technique over the other, the committee agreed <a href="#cha.s3.4">further research was needed to determine the most effective endoscopic ablation technique to use and made a recommendation for research</a>.</p><p>Evidence showed that RFA in people with confirmed low-grade oesophageal dysplasia protects from progression to high-grade dysplasia or cancer. The committee noted this was in line with their experience and that low-grade dysplasia is primarily managed by RFA in current practice.</p><p>Based on their clinical experience, the committee emphasised that for RFA to be offered, evidence of low-grade dysplasia from biopsies from 2 separate endoscopies and confirmation of the diagnosis by 2 gastrointestinal pathologists should be present. They noted this was in line with current practice where RFA takes place in specialist centres by endoscopists with appropriate experience and would not be considered in cases where there is evidence of low-grade oesophageal dysplasia from biopsies from only 1 endoscopy or where there is no confirmation by a second gastrointestinal pathologist.</p><p>There was no evidence to support use of other ablation techniques for treating low-grade dysplasia.</p><p>In the absence of clinical evidence on people with indefinite dysplasia of the oesophagus, the committee drew on their clinical experience to make a recommendation for this population. They emphasised that the risk of progression to high-grade oesophageal dysplasia or cancer is around 3 to 5 times higher than the risk in the non-dysplastic population and therefore endoscopic surveillance every 6 months would be appropriate. The committee also noted, based on their clinical experience, that indefinite dysplasia is often linked to excessive inflammation of the oesophagus, therefore optimisation of acid-suppressant medication is appropriate.</p><div id="cha.s4.5.1.1"><h5>Follow-up after endoscopic treatment</h5><p>There was no evidence comparing different strategies of endoscopic follow-up in people with Barrett's oesophagus with dysplasia and the committee drew upon their clinical experience to make a recommendation. They agreed that endoscopic follow-up is needed for people who have received endoscopic treatment for Barrett's oesophagus with dysplasia as the likelihood of recurrence is high. The committee noted this was in line with current practice.</p><p>Based on their clinical experience, the committee agreed that the frequency of follow-up should be based on the likelihood of recurrence.

There was a lack of evidence on how the 2 treatments affect quality of life so the committee drew on their own experience to consider this. As part of standard practice a clinical consultation would be offered to the person to discuss the treatment options and the advantages and disadvantages of both approaches.</p><p>Endoscopic resection is less invasive and has fewer complications than oesophagectomy. The committee agreed that even after successful endoscopic treatment there remains a risk of recurrence of Barrett's oesophagus and oesophageal neoplasia. Therefore, endoscopic treatment comes with a greater need for ongoing endoscopic surveillance, which could lead to anxiety about recurrence and possibly impacts on quality of life. This was reinforced by a patient committee member. Despite this, the committee agreed endoscopic resection is still more likely to result in better quality of life post--treatment than oesophagectomy. Therefore, it should be offered as first-line treatment to people with T1a adenocarcinoma.</p><p>There was evidence supporting the effectiveness of using endoscopic resection followed by endoscopic ablation to treat people with T1a adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus.</p><p>The evidence indicated that both radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and argon plasma coagulation (APC) are effective in reducing the risk of recurring oesophageal lesions in people who have received an endoscopic resection for T1a adenocarcinoma. However, the committee noted that for very long segment of Barrett's oesophagus RFA might be more practical than APC, which has a significantly smaller ablation catheter than RFA. Given that there is no evidence of superiority of one technique over the other, the committee agreed <a href="#cha.s3.4">further research was needed to determine the most effective endoscopic ablation technique to use and made a recommendation for research</a>.</p><p>The lack of specific evidence for people with T1b oesophageal adenocarcinoma was a concern for the committee who agreed this is where there is the most uncertainty over appropriate treatment. In the absence of evidence, the committee decided to make a recommendation to offer oesophagectomy rather than endoscopic resection for people with T1b oesophageal adenocarcinoma at high risk of cancer progression. This was based on their clinical experience that there is a greater risk of local recurrence in cases of incomplete endoscopic resection and a high risk of lymph node metastasis in cases with deep submucosal invasion (more than 500 micron) and lymphovascular invasion. They decided not to make a recommendation for people with T1b at low risk of cancer progression as it was less clear which treatment option would be best but made a <a href="#cha.s3.3">recommendation for research to determine the effectiveness of endoscopic resection with or without adjuvant chemoradiotherapy and oesophagectomy for adults with T1b oesophageal adenocarcinoma</a>.</p><div id="cha.s4.6.1.1"><h5>Follow-up after endoscopic treatment</h5><p>In the absence of evidence comparing endoscopic and radiological follow-up with standard endoscopy in people with stage 1 oesophageal adenocarcinoma, the committee drew upon their clinical experience to make a recommendation.

In the absence of evidence, the committee agreed not to make a recommendation for anti-reflux surgery to induce remission or prevent recurrence in people with stage 1 adenocarcinoma.

</p></div></div></div><div id="cha.s5"><h2 id="_cha_s5_">Context</h2><p>Barrett's oesophagus is a condition in which squamous cells at the lower end of the lining of the oesophagus are replaced with columnar cells. It can be a precursor to oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Barrett's oesophagus is more common in older age groups, men, people who are white and people who are overweight. The risk of progression to cancer is low. Fewer than 1% of people with Barrett's oesophagus develop oesophageal adenocarcinoma each year.</p><p>However, oesophageal adenocarcinoma has a poor prognosis because of late presentation, and its incidence is increasing possibly related to more people being overweight or obese. Effective treatments for Barrett's oesophagus could reduce the number of people presenting late with adenocarcinoma and improve overall outcomes.</p><p>NICE published a guideline on ablative therapy for Barrett's oesophagus (CG106) in 2010, which included people with high-grade dysplasia only. The British Society of Gastroenterology published guidance in 2013 on managing Barrett's oesophagus and related early neoplasia. This emphasised the importance of minimum data set reporting, including length of Barrett's segments and also the requirement that dysplasia is confirmed by 2 gastrointestinal pathologists. An update to the 2010 NICE guideline was needed because of new evidence on chemoprevention, managing Barrett's oesophagus with low-grade dysplasia and evolving practice in stage 1 adenocarcinoma.</p></div><div id="cha.s6"><h2 id="_cha_s6_">Finding more information and committee details</h2><p>To find NICE guidance on related topics, including guidance in development, see the <a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/conditions-and-diseases/cancer/oesophageal-cancer" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">NICE topic page on oesophageal cancer</a>.</p><p>For full details of the evidence and the guideline committee's discussions, see the <a href="http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng231/evidence" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">evidence reviews</a>.

When exercising their judgement, professionals and practitioners are expected to take this guideline fully into account, alongside the individual needs, preferences and values of their patients or the people using their service. It is not mandatory to apply the recommendations, and the guideline does not override the responsibility to make decisions appropriate to the circumstances of the individual, in consultation with them and their families and carers or guardian.</p><p>All problems (adverse events) related to a medicine or medical device used for treatment or in a procedure should be reported to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency using the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/report-problem-medicine-medical-device" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">Yellow Card Scheme</a>.</p><p>Local commissioners and providers of healthcare have a responsibility to enable the guideline to be applied when individual professionals and people using services wish to use it. They should do so in the context of local and national priorities for funding and developing services, and in light of their duties to have due regard to the need to eliminate unlawful discrimination, to advance equality of opportunity and to reduce health inequalities. Nothing in this guideline should be interpreted in a way that would be inconsistent with complying with those duties.</p><p>Commissioners and providers have a responsibility to promote an
