This trial studies whether a special breath test can help detect cancer of the esophagus or stomach. You will drink a nutrient drink and provide breath samples to see if the test can find cancer early.
This trial tests a new ingestible capsule called PillSense that can detect bleeding in the upper part of your digestive system. If you come to the emergency room with signs of upper GI bleeding (like vomiting coffee-ground material or having black stools) but without obvious black stool on a physical exam, this study will see if the capsule works as well as the usual endoscopy procedure.

This trial tests a wireless optical sensor capsule that you swallow to find the source of bleeding in your upper stomach or food pipe. It may help doctors diagnose upper gastrointestinal bleeding without a standard endoscopy tube.
This study is testing whether a simple breath and blood test can help doctors better understand gastro-esophageal cancer and Barrett's esophagus. It aims to see if these non-invasive samples can provide useful information for diagnosis and monitoring.
This trial uses an endoscopy camera to look at the inside of your upper digestive tract to find the cause of bleeding. It may help doctors understand what is happening and decide on the best treatment.
