Objective 　To formulate the treatment of Barrett esophagus and provide evidence-based solutions for doctors and patients.
Methods 　We attempted to obtain evidence for treating Barrett esophagus by searching MEDLINE (1978 to 2005), CBMdisc (1978 to 2005) and The Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2005). The quality of the retrieved evidence was evaluated.
Results 　The therapies for Barrett esophagus include dietary intervention, change of life style, drug therapy, endoscopic therapy and surgery. We should choose different therapies according to the specific conditions of patients.
Conclusions 　Endoscopic therapy has been developed a lot in recent years. The combination of two or more therapies may produce better effects.
