Abstract: Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of chromoendoscopy combined with EpCAM detection in Barrett′s e-sophagus .Methods 95 patients diagnosed BE under routine endoscopy were recruited in the study ,and in which 49 patients were stained by 2% Lugol′s solution and undergone biopsy as group A ;46 patients were undergone biopsy by routine endoscopy as group B .The expressions of EpCAM were also detected by immunohistochemical SP methods in biopsies of group A .Results 39 patients were diagnosed BE by routine histology in group A ,in which 15 Colonic type metaplasia of BE were found ,an EpCam expression was observed in 28 Barrett′s esophagus patients conformed by histology with HE staining .And 23 patients were diagnosed BE by routine histology in group B ,in which 8 Colonic type metaplasia of BE were found .Both diagnostic rate of BE and colonic type meta-plasia of BE were significantly different between group A and B .Conclusion Targeted biopsies directed by Lugol′s solution staining can improve the diagnostic rate of Barrett′s esophagus ,and diagnostic rate of colonic type metaplasia of BE can be improved fatherly by detecting the expression of EpCAM .
