Swallowable Sponge Cell Sampling Device in Screening Patients with Esophageal Cancer Undergoing Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

Trial Status: active

This phase III trial studies how well a swallowable sponge cell sampling device works in screening patients with esophageal cancer undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy. The swallowable sponge cell sampling might be a less-invasive method to collect enough material to allow for early detection of malignancy and guide surveillance endoscopy.
