Esophageal Cancer (10030139, 10066354) Screening With FISH in Esophageal Cytology
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cytology Specimen Collection Procedure, Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and 1 other intervention for Dysphagia and 7 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This clinical trial studies whether esophageal cytology plus fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is equal to or better than esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (EGD) or upper endoscopy for the early detection of esophageal cancer. Genes are the units of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) the chemical structure carrying genetic information that determine many human characteristics. Certain genes in cancer cells may determine how the tumor grows or spreads and how it may respond to different drugs. Part of this study is to test those genes in esophageal cells using FISH.
