Today, at the Dartmouth General Hospital, Dr. Robert Berger performed the first Barrett’s Esophagus treatment in Nova Scotia. For the first time ever, patients in Nova Scotia suffering from Barrett’s Esophagus – a precancerous condition – are able to receive Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) treatment right here in their home province. Previously, patients in Nova Scotia had to travel to Moncton, NB for this important procedure – the only place in Atlantic Canada to offer the treatment until now.
Thank you to the 2024 Annual Lobster Dinner & Auction supporters and the Chassie Family who helped purchase an endoscopic ultrasound and laser used in RFA treatment.
