Yes, endoscopy can detect cancer. Endoscopy is a procedure that uses a thin tube with a light and camera on the end, known as an endoscope, to look inside the body. Endoscopic procedures can help diagnose tumors or other abnormalities in organs such as the intestines, stomach, esophagus, liver and pancreas. If any abnormal cells are found during an endoscopic procedure they may need to be biopsied in order to confirm if they are cancerous.

Aside from looking for signs of cancer directly through visual inspection of tissues during an endoscopic exam, there are several additional tests that doctors utilize while performing an endoscopy. These include brush cytology (where doctors take samples of tissue by brushing them), aspiration (where cells or fluids may be removed through suction) and biopsy (removal of small pieces of tissue for testing). The results from these tests can then indicate whether or not the patient has cancer.

In cases where cancers have already been detected using other methods such as X-rays or blood tests, more detailed examination is needed to determine the size and spread of the tumor before proper treatment can begin – this is often done using an endoscope which allows direct visualization and sampling within difficult-to-reach areas without major surgery being required upfront.

Overall by utilizing advanced technology such as high definition imaging coupled with specimen collection techniques like brushing cytology and aspiration/biopsy – modern day Endoscopists are equipped with powerful tools which allow early diagnosis and accurate staging information about Cancer thus leading to better treatment options available for patients suffering from it.
