What is Barrett's Oesophagus? Barrett’s Oesophagus occurs when persistent or long-term acid reflux damages the normal inner lining of the oesophagus. Over time, the lining of the oesophagus is damaged, the cells change, and abnormal cells can develop. It is not cancer but a pre-cancerous condition known as Barrett’s Oesophagus. A small number of people (less than 1%) with Barrett’s Oesophagus go on to develop Oesophageal Cancer.
