Summary

This study looks at whether taking multiple saliva samples over time can better detect Barrett's esophagus, a condition where the lining of the food pipe changes and can raise the risk of cancer. Researchers will collect saliva from 275 adults who have had or will have an endoscopy. They will analyze the bacteria in the mouth to see if a simple, repeatable spit test can reliably identify the condition.
