- Abstract
The article focuses on a medical research about the detection of laryngpharyngeal cancers through upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. For gastroenterologists, pharynx and larynx disorders will be overlooked at the time of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy unless the procedure includes a screening examination of the laryngopharyngeal. In three studies that included laryngopharyngeal screening, cancers of the pharynx or larynx were diagnosed in about one in 1000 procedures.
