We are inviting volunteers in Reading and York to join our research programme.
Look out for a text from NHSresearch inviting you to take part!
Together we can improve care for people with heartburn, indigestion and acid reflux.

[East of England Cancer Alliance @EOE_cancer]

People with persistent heartburn or acid reflux will be offered a ‘sponge-on-a-string' test in select pharmacies in England for the first time. This new pilot will help prevent oesophageal cancer, and follows previous work in community diagnostic centres. https://t.co/vXRNZ179WD

[CRUK Cambridge Centre @CRUKCamCentre]

In 2024 the BEST4 Screening trial launched, testing a "pill-on-a-thread" to detect early signs of oesophageal cancer in people with Barrett’s oesophagus. A major step in early cancer detection! Learn more: https://t.co/PetStqkjpy #FocusOnCamCancer @EarlyCancerCam

[NIHR Research Delivery Network @NIHRrdn]

Look out for BEST4's mobile screening vans, which we are coordinating to bring this important trial into the community.

The study is testing a novel “pill-on-a-string” as a screening method for oesophageal cancer.
