Pharmacy Test Could Save Lives | Nottingham News

A new pharmacy-based test is rolling out across the East Midlands, letting people with chronic heartburn get screened for esophageal cancer risk—without needing a full endoscopy. The EndoSign capsule sponge test, available until March 2027, collects esophageal cells in minutes and could catch precancerous changes early. Over 70 patients have already been tested, with many referred for follow-up. One participant, Carmen, praised its ease and comfort compared to traditional procedures. It’s a smart NHS move bringing early detection closer to home. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
