EsoGuard® Esophageal DNA Test in Houston, Texas
Detect Precancer Early with EsoGuard® at Houston Concierge Medicine
At Houston Concierge Medicine, we focus on prevention—catching health risks before they become life-threatening. That’s why we offer EsoGuard®, a breakthrough test that detects precancerous changes in the esophagus linked to conditions like Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma. It’s a simple, non-invasive test that could help stop cancer before it starts.
What Is EsoGuard®?
EsoGuard® is an innovative DNA-based test that analyzes cells collected from your esophagus to identify signs of Barrett’s esophagus—a known precursor to esophageal cancer.
Unlike traditional endoscopies, EsoGuard® uses a swallowable, non-invasive cell collection device, making the process quick, safe, and easy to tolerate.
It offers a powerful alternative for patients who may avoid more invasive procedures. This test brings cutting-edge diagnostics to your primary care experience.
Who Should Consider This Test?
You may be at increased risk for esophageal precancer if you have chronic acid reflux (GERD), are over age 50, male, Caucasian, obese, a current or former smoker, or have a family history of Barrett’s esophagus or esophageal cancer.
In fact, clinical guidelines recommend precancer testing for over 30 million individuals in the U.S. with GERD to help prevent deadly esophageal cancer.
Early detection is critical—because even Stage I esophageal cancer has a poor survival rate without timely intervention. EsoGuard® offers a simple way to screen those at risk before it’s too late.
What to Expect at Houston Concierge Medicine
We make the process simple and patient-focused. After a brief consultation, the EsoGuard® test is performed right in our office using the non-invasive EsoCheck® device.
The procedure takes only minutes and requires no sedation, downtime, or prep. Once your results are in, our physicians will walk you through the findings and, if needed, help you plan next steps for monitoring or treatment.
Our goal is to bring you clarity, confidence, and peace of mind through personalized care. Esophageal cancer is often detected too late—but it doesn’t have to be. With a simple in-office test, you can get ahead of potential risks and take control of your health.
