According to SET News on July 6, 2024, a 50-year-old man named Mr. Chen had symptoms of acid reflux reaching his throat for a long time, and after being diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, doctors recommended long-term regular intake of proton pump inhibitors and regular follow-up endoscopies to evaluate changes. Following a combined radiofrequency ablation and endoscopic anti-reflux surgery, Mr. Chen's Barrett's esophagus nearly disappeared, showing significant symptom improvement and no longer needing proton pump inhibitors. With the increasing rate of gastroesophageal reflux in Taiwan due to dietary and lifestyle changes, it is important to maintain healthy habits to prevent symptoms and complications.
