A member asked:

What are the odds of developing esophageal cancer if i have barrett's with no dysplasia? how often should i have endoscopy to follow up?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is a risk factor: But odds are low. Your endoscopist knows guideline for frequency. It's also related to coverage.
