title: Barrett's esophagus: lessons from recent clinical trials.
abstract: Data from recent studies cast doubt on former recommendations on diagnosis and management of Barrett's esophagus. Based on latest research findings several Gastroenterological Associations actualized their guidelines and international experts compiled consensus statements as practical help for clinicians. In this review we discuss recent trials and their impact on clinical practice, current recommendations and persisting controversies in Barrett's esophagus.
