Barrett's Esophagus

Treatment in Florida

Gastroenterologists at Mayo Clinic in Florida are some of the most experienced in the country in treating Barrett's esophagus. They were among the first to use photodynamic therapy to treat high-grade dysplasia, and Mayo Clinic's photodynamic therapy program is now one of the largest in the United States. Mayo Clinic physicians have also been at the forefront of evaluating other noninvasive therapies for Barrett's esophagus and early-stage esophageal cancer, including radiofrequency ablation and cryotherapy. Internationally known for their diagnostic expertise, doctors at Mayo Clinic in Florida use optical biopsies and other advanced imaging methods to help determine which patients are best treated with ablative therapies and which should consider surgery. For patients who require surgery, Mayo Clinic offers both open and minimally invasive esophagectomy. These complex procedures are performed by surgeons experienced in caring for patients with esophageal disorders in one of the world's largest and most experienced medical centers for esophageal surgery.
