Endoscopy

At Karnawat Cancer Hospital, we specialize in advanced endoscopic procedures that play a crucial role in the early detection, diagnosis, staging, and sometimes treatment of cancer. Endoscopy offers a minimally invasive way to examine the inside of the body with high precision—allowing us to identify abnormalities at an early stage and plan timely interventions.

What is Endoscopy?

Endoscopy involves inserting a thin, flexible tube equipped with a tiny camera and light source through natural openings (like the mouth or rectum) to view internal organs in real time. This allows doctors to closely examine the digestive tract, lungs, urinary system, and other areas without major surgery.

It is a vital tool for detecting pre-cancerous changes, diagnosing cancer, taking biopsies, and even performing minor therapeutic procedures.

Types of Endoscopy We Offer

🔹 Upper GI Endoscopy

Used to detect tumors, ulcers, or bleeding in the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Helps diagnose cancers of the upper gastrointestinal tract.

🔹 Colonoscopy

A vital screening tool for colorectal cancer. It allows for the detection and removal of polyps before they become cancerous.

🔹 Bronchoscopy

Used to examine the lungs and airways. Crucial in diagnosing lung cancer, especially in patients with persistent cough, abnormal chest X-rays, or history of smoking.

🔹 Endoscopic Biopsy

During any of the procedures, small tissue samples can be collected for histopathological analysis to confirm or rule out cancer.

🔹 Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)

A more advanced procedure that combines endoscopy with ultrasound to examine deep-seated tumors in organs like the pancreas, liver, and lymph nodes.

🔹 Therapeutic Endoscopy

In certain cases, endoscopy can also be used for tumor debulking, stent placements to relieve blockages, or removal of early-stage growths.
