Endoscopy simply means, “looking inside” the body. The endoscope is a medical device with an attached light source used by physicians and surgeons, to visualize suspicious masses in the hollow organs of the body, such as the gastrointestinal tract, esophagus, lungs, urinary tract and uterus. An endoscopy procedure is often performed when other tools, such as an MRI, X-ray, or CT scan, are considered inappropriate or unclear. Endoscopies are commonly performed to diagnose cancer, take tissue samples for biopsies, and to remove the cancer when it’s confirmed. The patient may be fully conscious or under general anesthetic.
