'You swallow a capsule, it dissolves and the sponge expands'. A new test to detect oesophageal cancer could improve survival rates, say doctors. Altnagelvin
Oesophageal cancer: Cytosponge could lead to early detectionFour years ago, Gladys Williams was referred for an endoscopy after experiencing pain in her chest similar to heartburn.
It involved inserting a flexible tube with a camera into her throat, an experience she described as "very scary". But a new study using a device called a cytosponge, which is aimed at discovering oesophageal cancer at an early stage, may lead to less invasive procedures. Dr John McGoran, a consultant gastroenterologist at Altnagelvin Area Hospital, says the cytosponge could improve people's survival rates.
