HOW IS ESOPINE BIOPSY DONE?
There are 2 methods of taking a piece from the esophagus. Firstly, with endoscopy, in case of any deformity in the esophagus, a piece can be taken from here and endoscopic diagnosis can be made. The second method is endoscopic ultrasonography, that is, the endoscope integrated with the ultrasound we perform outside goes inside the esophagus and the diseased area is seen with ultrasound and a piece is taken from there with a needle.
WHAT IS ESTOPIC PERFORMANCE, HOW IS IT TREATMENT?
Perforation of the esophagus is a very problematic situation. This is a problematic situation because normally there are microbes in our mouth and esophagus, and these microbes do not infect our chest cavity. But when the esophagus is punctured, these microbes can infect our chest cavity, abdominal cavity and neck and cause serious problems. The most common cause of esophageal perforations is after medical interventions, surgeries or during endoscopy. There is a risk of rupture of the esophagus in 1 in 1500 endoscopy. Sometimes tears may occur when endoscopic ultrasound is performed. Apart from this, very severe vomiting and retching can also cause esophageal rupture, or esophageal ruptures may occur due to a disease in the esophagus. When tumors are very advanced, sometimes the point of origin of the first tumor can reveal itself with the rupture of the esophagus.
WHAT IS ESOPHAPILE INFLAMMATION? HOW IS IT TREATED?
There are 1-2 reasons for inflammation of the esophagus, which we call esophagitis. The first is reflux, which causes microbe-free inflammation because the acid burns the esophagus, which we call esophagitis. The second reason is the inflammatory condition, sometimes our immune system is very suppressed while receiving chemotherapy. In cases where our immune system is very suppressed, esophagitis and inflammation of the esophagus caused by the yeast microbe we call candida can be seen in the esophagus.
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF ESOPHAPILE CANCER?
Especially from vegetables. Poor diet, meat-based, burnt-food-based diet, drinking excessively hot tea, smoking, alcohol use, and some genetic predispositions play a role in esophageal cancer.
IS DIFFICULTY WHILE SWALLOWING A SYMPTOM OF CANCER?
Yes, you need to be careful. Difficulty or difficulty in swallowing, if it has just occurred, is an indication that there is a problem in the esophagus. We should not immediately think of it as cancer, but if you are older, smoke and drink alcohol, the first symptom of esophageal cancer may be difficulty in swallowing.
WHAT DOES A BURNING IN THE ESOPHAPILE OCCUR?
Burning in the esophagus is a symptom that many people experience in their lives. The main reason for this is that there is a very strong acid in our stomach. For example, if we eat too much, this causes acid reflux. In a situation where we are extremely stressed or when our stomach valve does not work very well, reflux increases and the acid in the stomach can leak into the esophagus. When the acid in the stomach leaks into the esophagus, we may feel a burning sensation in our chest and sour water in our mouth.
CAN ANNUAL CHECKS AND EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF THE ESOPHAPILE, AS IN Lung CANCER, BE PROVIDED?
It is a risky situation. If we come from a particular group or region, if there is a family history of esophageal cancer, if the patient smokes, drinks alcohol or consumes excessively hot food, then these people are really at risk. If there has been any change in the esophagus, esophageal cancer can be diagnosed early in these people with annual or periodic endoscopic checks. It may be possible to detect esophageal cancer early with annual check-ups.
