Researchers have developed a new throat spray that could help doctors in making an early detection of esophageal cancer.

The affected cells can then be treated with minimal invasive procedures such as radiofrequency ablation. Lead researcher Dr Rebecca Fitzgerald said that the spray will help not only doctors, but also patients as it will avoid unnecessary invasive procedures.
“Our technique highlights the exact position of a developing esophageal cancer, and how advanced it is, giving a more accurate picture. This could spare patients radical surgery to remove the esophagus that can result in having to eat much smaller more regular meals and worse acid-reflux”, Dr Fitzgerald said.
