Cancer screening trial recruits first patients at UHSussex
University Hospitals Sussex has recruited its first patients into a national clinical trial investigating a simple, less invasive method to improve early detection and monitoring of people at risk of oesophageal cancer.
The trial, known as BEST4, is exploring whether a ‘sponge on a string’ test could replace some of the routine endoscopies currently used to monitor patients with Barrett’s oesophagus (BO).
