Sponge-on-a-String could replace scopes for cancer screening
NCT ID NCT07212491
Summary
This study is testing a new, simpler way to screen for Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer. Researchers are using a small sponge on a string that patients swallow, which collects cells from the esophagus. They are checking if lab tests on these cells can accurately spot dangerous pre-cancer and cancer, potentially offering an easier alternative to regular endoscopy scopes.
