Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is associated with very high regional mortality rates in several countries. Our initial test of esophageal cytology screening devices found them not sensitive enough for an early detection program. The current study tested a newly designed "mechanical" balloon and a traditional Chinese inflatable balloon, followed by liquid-based cytology, to detect biopsy-proven squamous dysplasia and early cancer.
