101906-6
LaboratoryNoninvasive esophageal cancer DNA and esophageal cell screening [Presence] in Esophagus by Sequencing
Definition
This is an screening assay of esophageal cancer by the retrieval of samples obtained using a non-endoscopic swallowable balloon from the distal esophageal mucosa. The test is positive if either VIM and CCNA1 DNA methylation biomarkers are present.
