🌟 Revolutionising Oesophageal Cancer Screening 🌟 A groundbreaking trial is introducing a quick, simple, and less invasive method to detect oesophageal cancer early—the 10-minute sponge test! 💊 How it works: Patients swallow a dissolvable pill attached to a string. Once in the stomach, the pill releases a sponge that collects cells from the oesophagus as it’s gently retrieved, offering a quick alternative to traditional endoscopy. 🔬 This £6.4m BEST4 trial, led by Cambridge University Hospitals and funded by Cancer Research UK and the National Institute for Health and Care Research, aims to recruit 120,000 participants across England. 💡 Why it matters: Early detection can save lives, reducing the need for invasive treatments like chemotherapy or oesophageal surgery. The trial is open to men aged 55+ and women aged 65+ who take chronic heartburn medication, with NHS invitations being sent. 📍 Mobile screening vans are being deployed nationwide, bringing care closer to patients. This innovation could transform how we detect and treat oesophageal cancer, improving survival rates for the 9,300 diagnosed annually in the UK. 📲 Find out more about this exciting breakthrough: https://loom.ly/wL_rhck #CancerScreening #OesophagealCancer #MedicalInnovation #EarlyDetection #HealthcareAdvances

💬 "I had to fight to stay alive." Kelly Watson, 43, from East Yorkshire, faced more than three months of delays before finally receiving a diagnosis and treatment for head and neck cancer. Today, she's sharing her story to raise awareness of the "postcode lottery" in cancer care and the emotional toll of waiting for vital treatment. 🗣️ "I want future patients to get good care, no matter who they are or where they live. Cancer care shouldn’t depend on your postcode. If we don’t speak up, nothing will change." Kelly’s battle with head and neck cancer highlights the urgent need for timely, consistent care across the NHS. Despite the delays, she’s thankful for her family, the medical team who treated her, and charities like Oracle Voices and Young Tongues, who supported her through her journey. We need to ensure every cancer patient receives the right care, at the right time, no matter where they are in the UK. Read Kelly’s full story on our website and learn how you can help make a difference. 💙 #CancerAwareness #HeadAndNeckCancer #Healthcare #PatientSupport #OracleVoices #YoungTongues #PostcodeLottery #CancerCare #NHS https://loom.ly/4jYQpws
