Cytosponge use in Scottsdale?
Does anyone know if the Scottsdale Mayo location uses the Cytosponge for esophageal cell collection? I know that Rochester does but would prefer to uses the Scottsdale location. Thank you

@hayse, you're right that Cytosponge to sample cells in the esophagus. Dr. David Katzka of Mayo Clinic Rochester has led research in Accuracy, Safety, and Tolerability of Tissue Collection by Cytosponge vs Endoscopy for Evaluation of Eosinophilic Esophagitis.
To find out about the availability of cytosponge at Mayo Clinic in Arizona, I might suggest calling the Arizona central appointment office 480-301-8484 or you can contact Dr. Katzka's study team eosinophilic@mayo.edu.
