Endoscopic surveillance in tylosis

What type of endoscopic surveillance is recommended in patients with tylosis? 

  • Patients with tylosis should begin endoscopic surveillance at the age of 30.
  • Most cases of esophageal cancer in these patients have been noted in the distal esophagus, so attention should be focused in this area during the examination.
  • Repeat endoscopy should not be conducted more frequently than every 1 to 3 years in these patients.
