Summary
This study tests a simple, less invasive screening tool—a sponge on a string—to detect Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer. Researchers will enroll 450 adults with Barrett's esophagus who are already scheduled for an endoscopy. The goal is to see if DNA markers from the sponge sample can accurately identify high-grade dysplasia and cancer, potentially reducing the need for frequent invasive procedures.
