Abstract
This article presents the initial results of a multicenter observational study on the Hybrid-APC (H-APC) technique for treating Barrett's esophagus (BE). The H-APC technique combines argon plasma coagulation (APC) with a saline injection for ablation therapy. The study collected data from 57 patients with BE who underwent H-APC ablation, with 38 patients completing the treatment so far. The results show that H-APC has high efficacy and safety, with a high tolerability profile and a limited number of treatment sessions required. However, further randomized comparative studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness. [Extracted from the article]
