This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), under the Federal Assistance Listings program CFDA 93.395 Cancer Treatment Research, provides $406,500.00 to support the development of a novel, low-cost, single-use trans-nasal cryotherapy device for esophageal cancer treatment in low-resource settings. The project aims to design and validate a functional prototype of this first-of-its-kind device, which would enable unsedated cryoablation procedures to be administered through the nose, reducing barriers such as the need for sedation, hospital access, and costly equipment. The award period runs from Sep 26, 2023 to Aug 31, 2024 and will involve leveraging computational modeling, 3D printing, and physician evaluation studies to optimize the device design. Upon successful completion, this project is expected to deliver an affordable cryotherapy solution that can expand access to advanced esophageal cancer treatment, particularly in underserved regions.
