Esopredict test helps ID patients at high risk of esophageal cancers

Esopredict, a test developed by Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center investigators, could give gastroenterologists insight into which patients with Barrett’s esophagus are likely to progress to esophageal cancer or an abnormal collection of cells called high-grade dysplasia, according to a recent study. This information could help physicians determine how to monitor or manage patients during clinical care.
