Sponge-in-a-Pill could revolutionize early cancer detection

NCT ID NCT04214119

Summary

This study is testing a simple, swallowable sponge capsule called EsophaCap to collect cell samples from the esophagus and stomach. Researchers aim to find biological markers that can identify early signs of Barrett's esophagus, esophageal cancer, and stomach cancer. The goal is to develop a less invasive screening method to catch these cancers earlier when they are most treatable.
