Summary

This study looks for early DNA changes in blood and tissue that might warn of esophageal cancer in people with Barrett's esophagus or chronic reflux. Researchers will follow 600 participants over time to see if these markers can predict cancer progression. The goal is to improve early detection, not to test a treatment.
