A member asked:

What does it mean if my esophagus biopsy shows i have a slightly hyperplastic squamous epithelium?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No cancer: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the information you provided is not a cause for concern.
