Tests needed before Food Pipe Cancer Treatment / Diagnosis

Food Pipe cancer diagnosis usually requires an endoscopy along with a biopsy. During an endoscopy, a thin, flexible tube is inserted via the mouth into the esophagus to view it from the inside. A biopsy is examining a tiny sample of cancerous tissue under a microscope.

A biopsy of the esophagus is safe and does not spread cancer.

In addition to biopsy, the following are typically required:

Blood tests.
CT or PET-CT scans to determine the severity of the illness.
Additional tests if needed by the oncologist.
