Firefighters face extraordinary risks in the line of duty — including a 62% increased risk of developing esophageal cancer.

That’s why it’s so encouraging to see departments like Southern Jackson County Fire District taking proactive action to prioritize early detection and prevention.

In just minutes, firefighters underwent a non-endoscopic screening to help identify esophageal precancer before cancer develops — because when this disease is found early, outcomes can change dramatically.

NEW DATA generated by researchers at Mayo Clinic will be presented at Digestive Disease Week® #DDW2026, taking place May 2–5 in Chicago. The findings, featured in two poster presentations, demonstrate how molecular risk stratification with the TissueCypher test can refine risk assessment and directly inform real-world management decisions for patients with Barrett's esophagus.

"The findings presented at DDW 2026 suggest that relying on traditional clinical risk assessment alone may not fully capture a patient's true risk of progression," said Cadman L. Leggett, M.D., gastroenterologist at Mayo Clinic and senior author on both studies. "Molecular risk stratification with TissueCypher can provide more clinically actionable insights by more accurately identifying which patients are truly at higher or lower risk. And we see that translating into real-world changes in how physicians manage patients."
