Is Fluoroscopies Done When They Suspect Cancer ?
Do doctors always use fluoroscopies when they suspect cancer? If there is a mass on the escophagus, whatelse could that be? My mom has diabetes/ asthma and they say there s a mass so they used a fluoroscopy first, probably will do the endoscopy as well.

Thanks for the query
Fluroscopy can be used not only for cancer but also to see for stricture and local obstructions, foreign bodies, etc. Following a positive finding in fluroscopy u will have to do an endoscopy as well
