A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don'tWorryBeDiligent: GERD is common among American adults but only a small percent of people with GERD(less than one out of every 10)develop Barrett's esophagus.Between 0.1% to 2% of those with Barrett's esophagus each year go on to develop esophageal cancer.So you have time to work it all out & there are several ways to treat it if it progresses.Key to all this is prevention & close follow-up by a Gastroenterologist.
