Abstract
High-grade dysplasia is the last stage before the development of adenocarcinoma. Despite the fact that the lesion is not yet invasive, it has tremendous potential to become malignant. The approach to the disease has clinicians divided between immediate intervention with surgical resection or continued endoscopic surveillance proof of the unclear natural history. Much knowledge has been acquired recently regarding application of surveillance and outcomes of esophageal resection. Also, many endoscopic techniques for treating high-grade dysplasia have been studied in depth. Results on their safety, efficacy, and complication rates have recently become available. This review analyzes the progress in the understanding and treatment of high-grade dysplasia during the past 24 to 36 months and examines how this new information plays a role in the disease's treatment algorithm.
