What Causes an Ulcer?
Ulcers occur when acid eats away the lining of the esophagus, stomach, or small intestine.
![Page 7: Putting Out the Fire: Prevention & Treatment of Acid Reflux & Ulcers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56815e43550346895dccb288/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How Does This Happen?
Medications Pain Relievers: Ibuprofen , Aspirin, Naproxen Bisphosphonates: Fosamax, Actonel
Helicobacter pylori bacteria
High Acid States: Gastrinoma

Does Stress Cause Ulcers?
![Page 9: Putting Out the Fire: Prevention & Treatment of Acid Reflux & Ulcers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56815e43550346895dccb288/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Yes & No
Stress alone does NOT cause ulcers.
Uncontrolled high stress conditions may: Burns Physical trauma Surgery

Related to heartburn & Barrett’s esophagus.
Barrett’s Screening Highest Yield – White Males > 50 w/ longstanding

Epidemiology
Barrett’s Esophagus Premalignant lesion assoc w/ Adenocarcinoma of
esophagus & GE jct. Increasing incidence of Esophageal AdenoCa in US over
past 2 decades. AdenoCa accounting for > 50% esophageal cancers in
US. Annual incidence of AdenoCa in BE is < 0.5% in US. Poor 5-year survival – only 13%.
BE - Dx in 10 -15% pts w/ reflux undergoing EGD. Prevalence reported as high as 5.6% in pts w/o
chronic reflux symptoms.

Therapy
PPI to control GERD symptoms.Nissen Fundoplication may be considered for
pt’s w/ controlled GERD on PPI.PPI tx &/or surgery do not reverse BE.No role for pH monitoring.
Tx goal is symptom control, not pH level.Endoscopic therapy.

2011 AGA Guidelines
High-Grade Dysplasia RFA, EMR, & PDT recommended. 70-80% can be successfully tx w/ endoscopic tx alone.\
Low-Grade Dysplasia “RFA should also be a therapeutic option for
treatment”. >90% reversion to normal-appearing squamous
epithelium.
![Page 49: Putting Out the Fire: Prevention & Treatment of Acid Reflux & Ulcers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56815e43550346895dccb288/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
2011 AGA Guidelines
Nondysplastic “RFA, with or wthout EMR, should be a therapeutic
option for select individuals with nondysplastic Barrett’s esophagus who are judged to be at increased risk for progression to high-grade dysplasia or cancer”.

Screening
ACG: No recommendation – individualized in high risk patients.
ASGE: “may be appropriate in selected pts w/ frequent (e.g., several times/wk), chronic, long-standing GERD (> 5 yrs).” If negative screening exam, no further screening
indicated.
