This due part limitations current methods, questions durability treatment response subendothelial progression. As we are now able achieve organ sparing eradication superficial neoplasia BE, need also then focus our attention on how best manage after achieved. Implementing practices requires additional understanding biology disease, appreciation limits tools treatments, exploration role adjunctive technologies. aim this article provide comprehensive review literature surrounding post-ablation BE.
