ENT Institute is holding free esophageal reflux screenings on Saturday, Nov. 9 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Phipps Plaza in Atlanta.
Silent reflux, which this test can detect using a tiny nose tube, can lead to esophageal cancer, which has seen an 850 percent increase in prevalence since 1975, says CBS Atlanta.
Patients under 18 years old must be accompanied by a parent.
