I wish there was more info out there on the risks for reflux -> Barret’s -> cancer. I could barely find anything when I last looked, except that frequent reflux sufferers are advised to get an endoscopy once every few years. (So I guess Barret's develops pretty slowly?) Also, the fact that smoking is correlated with both reflux and cancer significantly confounds the issue.
