Endoscopy for Esophageal Carcinoma

What is Endoscopy for Esophageal carcinoma?

Esophageal carcinoma is a cancer of the food pipe (esophagus) that can interfere with swallowing and nutrition. Early detection is crucial for successful treatment. At Narayana’s Hospital, we provide advanced endoscopy for esophageal carcinoma to accurately diagnose the condition and guide timely, personalized treatment.

Esophageal carcinoma occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the lining of the esophagus. It may develop without early symptoms, making timely evaluation essential.

Common symptoms include:

  • Progressive difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia)

  • Pain or discomfort while swallowing

  • Unexplained weight loss

  • Chest pain or persistent heartburn

  • Hoarseness or chronic cough

Role of Endoscopy in Esophageal Carcinoma

Endoscopy is the primary diagnostic tool for suspected esophageal carcinoma. It helps doctors to:

  • Directly visualize abnormal growths or ulcers

  • Identify narrowing or blockage of the esophagus

  • Determine the location and extent of the tumor

  • Perform a biopsy to confirm cancer diagnosis
