Specialized
Procedures for GERD-Related Disorders
Heartburn occurs when acid from the
stomach escapes back into the esophagus, causing a
burning sensation in the middle of the chest. It is one
of the main symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease
(GERD). GERD is a known risk factor for esophageal
cancer.
Barrett’s esophagus is a
pre-cancerous condition caused by chronic GERD. Over
time, exposure to stomach acid may injure the cells
lining the esophagus, causing them to mutate into
pre-cancerous tissue. Individuals who develop Barrett’s
esophagus are 50 times more likely to develop esophageal
cancer, and require close medical monitoring of this
condition.
