Wenker TN, et al. - In this retrospective cohort study, researchers ascertained the frequency of prior diagnosis of Barrett’s esophagus (BE) in patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma (EA) as well as assessed the impact of a prior BE diagnosis on mortality in EA patients. Participants in the study were patients diagnosed with EA in the VA from 2002 to 2016. They found that the proportion with prior BE diagnosis increased from 3.2% in EA patients diagnosed during 2005–2007 to 7.0% in those diagnosed during 2014–2016. Data reported that prior diagnosis of BE was related to better survival, largely due to earlier EA stage at diagnosis.
