First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new, less invasive way to look for Barrett's esophagus, a condition that can lead to cancer. Instead of a traditional endoscopy, a capsule attached to a string is swallowed to take pictures of the esophagus. The goal is to see if this method works well for detecting the condition in 57 adults.
