GASTRIC CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

Capsule Endoscopy is coming to the stomach

In the U.S. more than 25k people are being diagnosed for gastric cancer each year and over 40% of them will die from the disease, according to the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR).

Since 90% are adenocarcinomas, a gastroscopy is highly accurate in detecting them. By using a magnetically controlled capsule endoscope, comparable results can be achieved without sedation or other discomfort to the patient.

GI Digital is working with the leading capsule endoscopy technologies to enable providers to efficiently and effectively offer these innovative diagnostic tests to their patients.
