## Abstract Porfimer sodium photodynamic therapy (psβPDT) for Barrett's esophagus is a powerful endoscopic treatment that can eliminate highβgrade dysplasia (HGD) and Barrett's mucosa and reduce the risk of development of cancer in these patients. PsβPDT typically results in destruction of Barrett'

There is an increased incidence of malignancies in transplant recipients. Accelerated progression from a premalignant lesion to carcinoma has been reported in transplant recipients with skin cancer and colon cancer. Whereas Barrett's esophagus is a common premalignant condition in the normal populat
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Temporal and spectral fluorescence spectroscopy can identify adenomatous colonic polyps accurately. In this study, these techniques were examined as a potential means of improving the surveillance of high grade dysplasia (HGD) in Barrett's esophagus (BE).
## BACKGROUND. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new local, endoscopically controlled therapeutic concept based on the selective sensitization of malignant and precancerous lesions prior to light-induced tissue destruction. 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) appears to be a promising alternative photosen
Decision models for surveillance of Barrett's oesophagus (BO) are governed by the grade of dysplasia on endoscopic biopsy, but subjective grading is prone to observer variation. Computerized morphometry and immunoquantitation can objectively discriminate between different grades of dysplasia in oeso
