Just published in @TheLancet! We show that the capsule sponge improves Barrett's surveillance, helping prioritize high-risk patients for endoscopy & offering a more efficient, patient-friendly approach for low-risk individuals. thelancet.com/journals/lance… #GITwitter #Earlydetection
What does the BOSS trial mean for the future of BE surveillance? We share key lessons learned and outline new directions for improving patient outcomes. Dive into our latest commentary here: thelancet.com/journals/langa… @petersasieni #Oncology #GIresearch #Barretts #Surveillance
Today is World Barrett’s Oesophagus Day!💚 Barrett’s oesophagus is a condition where the normal cells in the oesophagus (also called the gullet) are replaced with abnormal cells. Find out more about Barrett’s oesophagus via the link here: loom.ly/a_Zb1DQ (🧵1/5)
Proud to share that I’m a winner of the #NIHRImpactPrizes! It’s an honour to be recognised for research that makes a real difference. A huge thank you to my colleagues and @NIHRresearch for their support!
