A Trial Comparing Yield of Confocal Endomicroscopy Guided Biopsies

March 24, 2010 updated by: Mayo Clinic

A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Yield of Confocal Endomicroscopy Guided Biopsies With Random Biopsies in the Detection of Specialized Columnar Epithelium in Barrett's Esophagus

We wish to determine whether biopsies obtained with the technique of fluorescence-aided confocal endomicroscopy will detect more patients with specialized columnar epithelium than random biopsies among patients with Barrett's esophagus who are being monitored with endoscopy.
