This review introduces some of the novel endoscopic modalities used for the treatment of superficial neoplasms arising in the setting of Barrett's esophagus, namely endoscopic mucosal resection and photodynamic therapy. We describe the appropriate technical details for pathologists to know to effectively communicate with the gastroenterologists as well as the pitfalls in the evaluation of endoscopic mucosal resection specimens and post photodynamic therapy follow-up biopsies.
