First seen Mar 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study tested a screening method using a special dye (Lugol) during endoscopy to find early cancer signs in 39 adults who have had achalasia for over 15 years. People with achalasia have a higher risk of esophageal cancer, but early detection is difficult. The goal was to see if the dye helps find abnormal cells before they turn into cancer.
