Revolution in cancer diagnostics: Researchers develop “groundbreaking” capsule test. If esophageal cancer is detected early with the cancer test, surgery may be sufficient.
The test was developed by Rebecca Fitzgerald, director of the Early Cancer Institute at the University of Cambridge. The project was commissioned by the English National Health Service (NHS) around 6,100 men and 1,800 women suffer from it every year. The chances of recovery increase significantly if it is detected at an early stage, the German Cancer Society says.
