Researchers create ingestible pill-sized 3D camera to help prevent cancer

 Esophageal cancer is a terrible disease. Because of the very few symptoms presented early on in the disease, most patients aren’t diagnosed until the cancer is in an advanced state. If the cancer is detected and treated while it is isolated to the esophageal mucosa, patients have an estimated 80% five-year survival rate (5YSR). If it’s not caught until symptoms start showing, the 5YSR goes down to a tiny 15%.
