Summary
This study compared two treatments for people with Barrett's esophagus who have high-grade dysplasia, a precancerous condition. One treatment is surgery to remove part of the esophagus, which has high risks. The other is a newer, less invasive procedure using a balloon that delivers radiofrequency energy to destroy the abnormal cells. The goal was to see which treatment better eliminates the precancerous cells with fewer side effects.
