The purpose of this study is to collect cells from your esophagus using a special tool called the EndoSign® Cell Collection Device and test them to check for a condition called Barrett's Esophagus and esophageal cancer (EAC).
At your study visit, you will be asked some questions about your medical history and demographic information. You will be asked to swallow a small capsule attached to a thread and drink water. The capsule will then dissolve in your stomach to release a small sponge, which will be slowly pulled out of your esophagus to collect cells. You will then be asked to complete a questionnaire about your experience.
