Cancer in Barrett esophagus detected by elastic scattering spectroscopy
Published in Cancer Weekly, September 26th, 2006
"Endoscopic surveillance of Barrett's oesophagus currently relies on multiple random biopsies. This approach is time consuming, has a poor diagnostic yield, and significant interobserver variability. Elastic scattering spectroscopy is a real time in vivo optical technique which detects changes in the physical properties of cells," researchers in England reported.
"The aim of this study was to assess the potential for elastic scattering to detect high grade dysplasia or...
