A member asked:
Can barrett's esophagus once discovered and treated be healed or cured? or will it always be there
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: It is possible to reverse barretts if the acid irritation of esophagus is stopped. Surveillance is necessary to make sure this has occurred as failure can lead to dysplasia and cancer of the esophagus.

Yes: There are a few endoscopic procedures which have the potential of eradicating barrett's esophagus. Radiofrequency ablation is becoming a more common procedure with a high rate of success with low risk of complications.
