Barrett's Esophagus can lead to adenocarcinoma
    - One of the fastest growing incidence rates in the United States
    - Endoscopic eradication of Barrett's Esophagus is complex and evolving
 
 Current situation
    - Adherence to guidelines is very limited and can lead to inefficient cancer detection (1)
    - Treatment can be delayed until the next endoscopy procedure
     - Repeat biopsies can alter treatment
    - Endoscopy provides limited insight on the need to treat or re-treat, choice of treatment modality and evaluation of treatment completeness
