Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common form of liver cancer. The risk of hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common type of liver cancer, is higher in patients with long-term liver diseases. It is a serious illness that can be life-threatening.

Early CRC detection saves lives.
Are you due for your next colonoscopy within the next 90 days? Join this study to help us develop a blood test that accurately and easily detects colorectal cancer (CRC). According to the CDC, early detection can dramatically improve survival rates. That’s why we are looking to validate a simple blood test for early CRC detection.
The most common symptoms of GERD are acid indigestion and heartburn. Heartburn is normal. Frequent and problematic heartburn should be reviewed with your gastroenterologist.
Patients with severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) may experience complications such as damage to the esophagus, Barrett’s esophagus or esophageal cancer.
Find out more about clinical studies for patients with GERD.
Hepatitis C virus is most often transmitted through exposure to infected blood. Most people have no symptoms. Those who do develop symptoms may have fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, and yellowing of the eyes and skin.
Hepatitis C is treated with antiviral medications. In some people, newer medicines can eradicate the virus.
During a capsule endoscopy procedure, the patient will swallow a tiny camera that’s about the size of a large vitamin pill. The Pillcam is a capsule you swallow is designed to examine the small bowel. The PillCam SB system is an ingestible capsule the size of a vitamin. It contains a tiny camera and light source that takes pictures of your small intestine as it travels naturally through your digestive tract. It takes 2 to 6 images per second, generating anywhere from 57,600 to 172,800 pictures in an eight-hour period. The images are then transmitted to a recorder that you wear on a strap across your body. Sensors placed on your stomach or in a sensor belt help transmit these images.
PillCam can aid in the early detection of disorders of the small intestine such as Crohn’s disease, iron deficiency anemia, small bowel tumors, and celiac disease.

Do you experience symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, or difficulty swallowing? You may have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus. But if you have these symptoms without any visible damage to the esophageal mucosal lining, you may have non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (NERD).
Doctors can diagnose NERD with an endoscopy, where a camera is inserted into the esophagus to examine the tissue. If there is no damage to the esophageal lining, you may be diagnosed with NERD. It’s worth noting that NERD can range from mild to severe symptoms.
Research shows that around 50-85% of people with reflux-related symptoms but negative endoscopic findings are diagnosed with NERD. And more than two-thirds of all GERD patients have NERD. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment for NERD are crucial to managing symptoms and preventing complications.
Don’t let NERD affect your quality of life. Talk to your doctor and contact Encore Borland Groover Clinical Research (EBGCR) to learn more about clinical trials for persistent reflux-related symptoms.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) – like symptoms may be caused by other digestive health issues. Gastroenterologists involved in clinical research are looking for new and better ways to help people manage chronic IBS-like symptoms.
The signs and symptoms of IBS can include:

The most common symptoms of esophagitis are heartburn, chest pain and dysphagia (trouble swallowing). If you have been diagnosed with or suspect you may have erosive esophagitis please contact us to learn more about current clinical trials.
A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Two-Phase, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Vonoprazan 20 mg Compared to Lansoprazole 30 mg for Healing in Patients with Erosive Esophagitis and to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Vonoprazan (10 mg and 20 mg) Compared to Lansoprazole 15 mg for the Maintenance of Healing in Patients with Healed Erosive Esophagitis PROTOCOL NO. EE-301
The exact cause of Barrett’s esophagus is not fully understood, but long-term GERD is the number one risk factor. Not all people with GERD get Barrett’s esophagus – in fact, it develops in less than 10% of people with GERD. It is more common in people who have had GERD for a long time or who were diagnosed with it at a young age.

Clinical trials look at new ways to prevent, detect or treat gastrointestinal diseases or conditions, while also providing valuable information about health and disease progress. Colonoscopy is the most important step in the prevention of colon cancer. Colonoscopy is the only colon cancer screening method that allows your gastroenterologist to visualize the entire colon and remove most polyps at the same time.
The most important step prior to your colonoscopy is cleaning out your colon. This will allow your physician to discover and remove polyps. Learn more about a new trial on colonoscopy prep.
