I hope this proves to be a useful tool in order to avoid endoscopy.

I am 16 months post Ivor Lewis and under Professor George Hanna. Before and leading up to my surgery I was the first person to be signed up to the trials. Whenever I went to hospital for an appointment a breath sample and a blood sample were taken. I think it's brilliant if it comes into play fully, think of the reduced cost and the ease of detection, anything has got be an improvement over endoscopy!
