A member asked:
If my soft tissue neck ultrasound didn't show any masses, can i also feel assured that there's no esophageal cancer tumor in this area? severe globus.

No: Esophageal cancer is best found by seeing a health care provider that can look in your esophagus with an endoscope.

Esophageal cancer: NO. Ultrasound of the neck does NOT evaluate the entire esophagus. A major portion of the esophagus is in the chest on its way to the stomach
