Barrett's esophagus is not cancer. There can be pre-cancerous changes in the cells (dysplasia) and those cells will be scraped away, but that is not cancer itself. Morrissey exaggerated a bit (as he always does) and then couldn't back away from what he'd said - that's why he squirmed around it on Larry King.
I can't find it at the moment because it's been ages, but it can actually be the very early stages of cancer, which would get scrapped out.
