Cancer screen: It will tell the extent of your esophagus and stomach disease and allow the doctor to perform tests for infection and possible cancer. it is very safe and you are given medication to just relax so that you don't gag. It will inform the doctor about the most effective treatment for your situation. It is usually done when treatment seems to not be working.
