| Description: |
This study is designed to determine whether there is an increased incidence of Barrett's esophagus or esophageal cancer in the relatives of persons with Barrett's esophagus or esophageal cancer. The Division of Gastroenterology is contacting siblings, children, and parents of patients with Barrett's esophagus or esophageal cancer, who have had symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or heartburn. Using a very thin scope, we can examine the esophagus to check for Barrett's without the need for sedation. This procedure takes no more than 10 minutes. |
| Criteria: |
Participants should be parents or siblings of patients with Barrett's esophagus or esophageal cancer. |
