Cellular material will be examined using cytological, immunohistochemical and genomic methods (Photo courtesy of Swallow the Sponge).

Simple Inexpensive Test Screens for Esophageal Cancer

Cancer of the esophagus claims more than 400,000 lives around the world each year. With no efficient, reliable method of screening for the disease, by the time symptoms become apparent, it's often too late to save the patient. More...
