A member asked:
Had neg. egd on jan.10months later esophaeal pain again do i need another egd? can it be a sign cancer?

Maybe: I suspect you have reflux that was not visible last time around. Your physician may either 'scope you again or give meds now. I'm not concerned about cancer yet but it needs to be followed for prevention.
