A member asked:
No biopsy results yet, but have been diagnosed with short segment barrett's via upper gi. how concerned should i be about cancer risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Cancer development from Barretts takes many years and happens in a minority of patients. Wait for the biopsy result and comply with the treatment your doctor may prescribe.
