Mauna Kea Technologies Announces Publication of a Meta-Analysis Demonstrating Cellvizio’s Significant Role in Detection of Esophageal Dysplasia and Cancer - Seite 2

“The results from these studies demonstrate that there are better tools that are easily accessible to physicians who are working to improve the detection rate of screening and surveillance programs, and ultimately reverse the alarming rise in prevalence of esophageal cancer,” said Nicolas Bouvier, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Mauna Kea Technologies. “Better detection rates and a lower utilization of healthcare services make Cellvizio a valuable adjunct to the standard of care in hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers alike.”

About Barrett’s Esophagus and Esophageal Cancer

Barrett’s Esophagus, often abbreviated as BE, is a condition that results from chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where the lining of the esophagus at the junction of the stomach undergoes significant physiological changes that can often be detected only with thorough screening and surveillance. Chronic GERD affects approximately 5-10% of the population globally, and if left unmanaged can progress to BE without proper surveillance. BE is the only known precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), one of the fastest growing causes of cancer deaths with very poor 5-year survival rates.
