Zhen Li et al. Screening for upper gastrointestinal cancers with magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy: a feasibility study

It was found that MCCG was well tolerated by patients and no major adverse events (including capsule retention) were reported. MCCG has the potential to improve widespread population-based screening.
