Abstract
The present invention relates to a method to assist in the determination of therapy for a patient suffering from Barrett's oesophagus, especially where first-line therapy has been unsuccessful and when dysplasia has been diagnosed.

The imaging agent is suitable for radioisotope or optical imaging in vitro or preferably in vivo.
