In Unites States, Barett's esophagus affects about 1 percent of the adult population. It is usually diagnosed when a person nears 50 years of age. This concise book covers causes, tests, treatment options -- including lifestyle changes -- and prognosis for this serious disorder. Includes references for support groups and further reading.
Barrett's esophagus is a condition where stomach acid damages the esophageal lining (the lining of the tube that leads from the throat towards the stomach). The lining is changed to a lining similar to that of the distal parts of gastrointestinal tract. A small percentage of Barrett's esophagus patients develop a rare but usually fatal cancer of the esophagus (esophageal adenocarcinoma). Barrett's esophagus is treatable. This concise book outlines the causes, tests and available treatment options for this devastating disease.
