(AGA) Castell Esophagus Clinical Research Award. He is also a
member of the Barrett's Esophagus Working Group of the US National
Cancer Institute (NCI).
Dr Sharma is involved with the AGA, ACG and ASGE at committee

Committee; and for the ASGE he is on the Research and Program
Selection Committees.

He is the Gastroenterology Fellowship Program Director, serves on the Training and Education Committee of the ACG and MKSAP 11 and 12 Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
"The second edition of this book...is remarkably even better than
the first. The editors, Drs. Sharma and Sampliner, have done their
job admirably. What is evident is not only their expertise but that
their hands-on approach dictates the tone of this book. The chapter
subjects are all aptly chosen and cover the entire spectrum of
Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma from every
possible angle. The editing is tight with little repetition of
subject matter in chapters. In fact, in some chapters where one
wonders why a specific topic was not covered, you can be sure it is
covered in a related chapter. The authors chosen for each chapter
are experts in their fields and all are exquisite writers and
thinkers." "It is rare that one sits down with a textbook and by
the end feels that one has read a great series of short
stories."
Gastroenterology, February 2007
"The book is a superb example of international co-operation,
listing among its more than 40 contributors several leading world
authorities […] who have given of their best, providing lucid,
succinct and comprehensive chapters. In a word, this is the best
guide to this difficult condition the reviewer has had the chance
to examine in recent years. […] The Editors are to be warmly
congratulated for producing this small masterpiece.”
Digestive and Liver Disease, October 2006
"Tn 2001, Prateek Sharma and Richard Sampliner assembled a superb
textbook (First Edition) on Barrett s esophagus and esophageal
adenocarc I norma. Once again, outstanding authors were selected to
write the individual chapters for the Second Edition. There are
detailed discussions of every aspect of Barrett’s esophagus and
esophageal adenocarcinoma, including many controversial topics
There are sevcral significant advances in the second edItion. There
are now chapters on both screening and surveillance in patients at
risk for Barrett’s esophagus. There is an excellent chapter on
clinical and epidemiologic features of esophageal adenocarcinoma.
The sections on the role of endoscopy have been broadly expanded.
There are several excellent, up-to-date discussions of high
resolution endoscopy. chromoendoscopy, spectroscopy, optical
coherence, endoscopic uLtrasonography, and endoscopic mucosal
resection. The sections on ablative therapies ale brief and well
done. However, there continue lobe new, available devices such as
the HALO 360 system (for which there are no publications in the
peer reviewed medical literature) that cannot be discussed. There
is a new section on the hopes for chemoprevention of adenocarcinoma
in patients with Barrett’s esophagus. The surgical section has been
expanded to include a mole detailed discussion of surgical
techniques available to patients with esophageal adenoenrcinoma.
The nurnerous color photographs in this edition are terrrific."
"The Second Edition points out that there are many new ideas and
techniques in the area of Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal
adenocarcinoma. It is well written, thorough, and as up-to-date as
any textbook can he on a rapidly evolving area. This is an
excellent textbook for anyone with an interest in esophageal
disease or gastrointestinal cancer. It would be an essential
textbook for any medical library."
