Competitive Landscape
Cyted competes with traditional invasive endoscopy, which is the standard of care but has scalability limitations. Emerging competitors include other non-endoscopic cell collection devices, swallowable imaging capsules, and liquid biopsy tests for cancer detection. Cyted's first-mover advantage with an FDA-cleared device is a key differentiator.
