1. Males and females over the age of 18 years
2. Ability to provide written, informed consent
3. For stream 1 (biopsies): patients with either suspected Barrett's Oesophagus presenting for endoscopy or patients with documented Barrett's Oesophagus presenting for follow-up endoscopy likely to require a biopsy
4. For stream 2 (endoscopic mucosal resections): patients with early stage oesophageal cancer
5. For stream 3 (oesophagectomy): patients with locally advanced oesophageal cancer which has not metastasised
1. Patients on anticoagulation undergoing high-risk procedures
2. Patients with esophageal varices that preclude biopsies
3. Patients with known eosinophilic esophagitis
4. Patients that are pregnant
5. Patients with a history of hemostasis disorders (Hemostasis disorders will include, but will not be limited to: patients with hemophilia or other congenitally acquired clotting factor deficiencies, patients with cirrhosis with coagulopathy, patients known to have thrombocytopenia (<100,000 plt/ul) and individuals with von Willibrand’s disease or other known platelet malfunction disorders)
