## Summary

It would urge federal, state, and local governments, nonprofits, and the media to raise awareness about risk factors such as chronic heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease, note that Barrett's esophagus can raise cancer risk about 30-fold, and promote screening, research, and support so more people are diagnosed early when five-year survival can be as high as 49 percent.
