A SERIOUS DISEASE PROGRESSION
Difficulty swallowing, heartburn, regurgitation, and other symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are not only uncomfortable, they may signify a more serious condition.3
Understanding the relationship between dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and GERD, and how GERD may progress to Barrett's esophagus is the first step toward getting the right care. Early detection and treatment of Barrett's esophagus may also reduce your risk of progressing to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), a form of esophogeal cancer.1,2
