About this listen
Is your heartburn more dangerous than you think?
In this first episode of our 4-part patient-focused series, we break down the serious risks of untreated acid reflux and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)—including its connection to Barrett’s esophagus, the only known precursor to esophageal cancer.
Dr. Dan Lister, a leading Foregut Surgeon and founder of the Arkansas Heartburn Treatment Center, joins us to explain:
-
How GERD can progress silently over time
-
Why Barrett’s esophagus matters—and how it’s detected
-
What red flags to look out for (including when reflux suddenly disappears)
-
The latest treatment options that could help prevent cancer
Whether you’ve been living with reflux for years or are newly diagnosed, this episode is packed with life-saving insights.
This special 4-part series is sponsored by Castle Biosciences and produced in collaboration with leading clinicians and researchers dedicated to improving patient outcomes.
