A low-cost, portable, battery-powered microendoscope, developed by bioengineers at Rice University, Houston, Texas, eventually could eliminate the need for costly biopsies for many patients undergoing standard endoscopic screening for esophageal cancer.

Possible to eliminate unneeded biopsies

"For patients, biopsies are stressful and sometimes painful," said lead researcher Rebecca Richards-Kortum, professor at Rice University where the new microendoscope was developed.
