Sponge on a string and AI could revolutionize esophageal cancer screening

NCT ID NCT07206589

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study tests three gentler methods to find Barrett's esophagus, a condition that can lead to esophageal cancer. The methods include an AI tool that checks health records, a sponge-on-a-string test that collects cells from the throat, and nurse help to guide patients through screening. The goal is to see if these approaches can diagnose more people early, when treatment works best. About 1,010 adults at higher risk for esophageal cancer will take part.
