Nasal and Laryngeal Endoscopy Treatment

Diagnosis and Cancer Screening

A flexible endoscope is a valuable tool in the screening, diagnosis, and treatment planning for cancers occurring in the nose and throat.

The endoscope is a device with either a fiber optic probe connected to a video camera, or a more contemporary digital model with a high-definition imaging sensor, giving better results.

Either model permits the examination of tissue in the nasal passages and throat. The endoscope probe is of sufficient length to inspect the nose, throat, and voice box. Like the imaging probe, an endoscope has a side channel, allowing instruments to pass. For example, small tissue samples called biopsies may be performed using this side channel.
