    AbstractBarrett's esophagus has been an important issue in clinical medicine for many years. In the 70 s of the last century, the association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and BE was detected. Only ten years later, the association between BE and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus was reported. Starting in the 90s in Europe, endoscopic resection and ablation have seen an expanding role in the management of BE. In analogy with other diseases, patients are undergoing individualized surveillance and treatment strategies. In non-neoplastic Barrett's esophagus, surveillance intervals are clearly defined by national and European guidelines. Only in case of malignant transformation of BE which may range from low-grade dysplasia to high-grade dysplasia and early Barrett's cancer, endoscopic therapy is indicated. At present, there are emerging techniques of artificial intelligence. Due to these rapid developments in BE management, it is important to keep an eye on the current status of BE management.Thieme.
