A member asked:

Is colon/esophagus biopsy only meant to detect cancer?or do they detect any other condition as well?if yes, please list them even if the list is long.

Other problems: The list is not that long but if you have a colon/esophagus problem it is essential to follow the advice of your gastroenterologist after the biopsy is done to allay your anxiety. "the truth shall make you free". Stop worrying and settle the matter by getting the biopsy.
