Physician Testimonials
"The Check-Cap device offers the exciting possibility of polyp imaging without bowel preparation. If effective, Check-Cap could be a safe and effective screening alternative for the many patients who are unwilling or unable to undergo colonoscopy."
- Dr. Douglas Rex, Chancellor's Professor and Professor of Medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine and Director of Endoscopy at Indiana University Hospital in Indianapolis. Dr. Rex is a full-time clinical gastroenterologist at Indiana University Hospital.
"Check-Cap promises to be a patient-friendly way of screening for colon cancer - patients don't like taking bowel preparation so Check-Cap's prep-free, painless technology will be a welcome change. When Check-Cap becomes available we can expect greater numbers of people to get themselves screened. We GI's will be performing more therapeutic colonoscopies allowing us to effectively meet the needs of many more patients and eventually to save more lives."
- Dr. Brian Saunders, Consultant Gastroenterologist and Chief of Endoscopy, Wolfson Unit for Endoscopy (OMED - World Centre of excellence) St. Mark's Hospital, London, United Kingdom and Honorary Senior Lecturer in Endoscopy, Imperial College, London.
"Check-Cap's prep-free, non-invasive technology meets the real need for colon cancer screening that's easy for patients. Patients are often hesitant to undergo colonoscopy due to the preparation, sedation, general discomfort and potential risks. Prep and occasionally discomfort are also issues with CTC. If further studies demonstrate that Check-Cap is an accurate screening modality for colon cancer and polyps, then the Check-Cap system will be a viable testing alternative, allowing the screening of patients in greater numbers and the use of fewer resources compared with CTC and Colonoscopy."
- Oscar Lebwohl, M.D., Clinical Professor of Medicine at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.
