348.2.1.1 GERD
- TLESRs main mechanism
- Typical: heartburn + regurgitation
- Atypical: cough, asthma, hoarseness, dental erosion
- Complications: esophagitis, stricture, Barrettâs, adenocarcinoma
348.2.1.3 GERD Diagnosis
- Clinical + PPI trial
- EGD for alarm features
- 24-hour pH monitoring for refractory / atypical
348.2.1.4 Treatment
- PPI first-line (omeprazole et al.)
- Famotidine for nighttime breakthrough
- Vonoprazan (PCAB) newer
- Surgery: Nissen fundoplication, LINX device
348.2.1.5 Barrettâs Esophagus
- Specialized intestinal metaplasia
- GERD long-standing, obesity, male, white, smoking
- Surveillance: EGD with biopsies every 3-5 yr (no dysplasia), 6 mo or RFA (LGD), RFA + EMR (HGD)
- Lifelong PPI
348.2.1.6 EoE
- ⥠15 eos/HPF
- Symptoms: dysphagia, food impaction
- Atopic comorbidities
- Linear furrows, rings (âtrachealizationâ)
- Treatment: PPI, STC (fluticasone, budesonide), 6-food elimination
- Dupilumab (LIBERTY-EoE-TREET 2022, FDA 2022) for refractory
- Endoscopic dilation for strictures
348.2.1.7 Achalasia
- LES failure to relax + absent peristalsis
- Manometry (Chicago Classification I-III)
- Bird beak on esophagram
- Treatment: pneumatic dilation, POEM, Heller myotomy, botox (elderly)
- Type III: POEM preferred
348.2.1.8 Esophageal Cancer Risk Factors
- Squamous: smoking + alcohol (synergistic), HPV, hot beverages, achalasia, lye, tylosis, Plummer-Vinson
- Adenocarcinoma: GERD + Barrettâs + obesity + smoking + male
348.2.1.9 Esophageal Cancer Treatment
- Early: EMR / ESD
- Locally advanced: neoadjuvant chemoradiation + esophagectomy
- Metastatic: chemotherapy + IO:
- Pembrolizumab + chemo (KEYNOTE-590) for both SCC + adeno
- Nivolumab + ipilimumab + chemo (CheckMate 648)
- Adjuvant nivolumab (CheckMate 577) post-chemoradiation

| Condition | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment |
|---|---|---|---|
| GERD | Heartburn + regurgitation | Clinical + PPI trial; EGD if alarm | PPI + lifestyle |
| Barrettâs | Often asymptomatic | EGD + biopsy | Surveillance + RFA dysplasia |
| EoE | Dysphagia + food impaction | ⥠15 eos/HPF | PPI/STC, dupilumab |
| Achalasia | Progressive dysphagia + weight loss | Manometry, bird beak | POEM/Heller/dilation |
| DES | Chest pain + dysphagia | Manometry: premature contractions | CCB/nitrate/POEM |
| Scleroderma esophagus | Heartburn + dysphagia | Manometry: absent peristalsis | High-dose PPI |
