NCT ID NCT01360541
First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study tested a procedure called radiofrequency ablation, which uses heat to remove abnormal cells, in 125 people with Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia (a precancerous condition). The goal was to see if this treatment could control or eliminate the abnormal cells better than just watching and waiting with regular check-ups. The approach aims to reduce the risk of cancer developing, but ongoing monitoring is still needed.
