Summary

This study looked at whether a non-endoscopic device (EsoCheck) and a biomarker test (EsoGuard) can help doctors decide when to refer patients for a standard upper endoscopy to screen for Barrett's esophagus. 97 doctors reviewed patient cases and made referral decisions, first without and then with the EsoGuard results. The goal was to see if the test changes how often doctors recommend endoscopy.
