This article first appeared in the 2019 Physics World Focus on Optics & Photonics under the headline "A light at the end of the tunnel"

Difficult to diagnose early and frequently deadly when discovered late, oesophageal cancer poses a threat to patients and public health systems alike. Joe McEntee reports on a Europe-wide effort to develop and commercialize better methods of detecting this increasingly common disease
