Barrett’s esophagus is one of the most serious complications of gastroesophageal reflux disease also known as GERD. Late diagnosis and treatment cause a high risk of developing adenocarcinoma of the esophagus with the background of Barrett’s esophagus. Today, this condition is one of the most controversial diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), requiring a careful approach to diagnosis and treatment by a group of specialists, including an endoscopist, gastroenterologist and pathologist. This article is a review of the literature on the history and current aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of Barrett’s esophagus.
