Posted on Wed, 10 Feb 2021
Question: Hi Dr,

New Question; my gastro specialist did an endoscopy per the symptoms I described last week!

After the endoscopy he said no cancer but he did take a few biopsies in Middle third of esophagus and in the duodenum it appears. He said he was checking for any bacteria, gastritis, etc. Do most specialists know if there is any cancer even before the reports are back?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
Yes, well experienced specialists can say if there is any cancer before the reports are back.
But still it has to be confirmed with the biopsy tissue examination as that is only confirmatory.
Regards,
Dr.R.K
