4. DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
1. Endoscopy: They'll slide a tiny camera on a
flexible tube down your throat to look inside
your food pipe. This helps them spot any
problems and take small bits of tissue
(biopsies) for closer examination.
To check for esophageal cancer, doctors may

2. Biopsy: This means collecting a tiny
piece of the suspicious area to check
under a microscope for cancer cells.
3. Special pictures: Doctors may take
special pictures like X-rays, CT scans,
PET scans, or MRI scans to see how
big the cancer is and if it has spread
to other parts of your body.
4. Barium swallow: Sometimes, they
might ask you to drink a special liquid
called barium, which shows up on X-
rays and helps them see if there are
any issues with your food pipe.
