Abstract
We showed that previously reported 60% mortality rate of EG has been reduced to 33.3% for cases reported after 2000. EGD has been utilized more often while surgical interventions are used only in carefully selected cases. Our data suggests that early endoscopic evaluation and optimal medical management can perhaps continue to improve survival in subjects with EG.
