And a specimen of some part has been sent to Mumbai for diagnosisbyopsis. And we are afraid that diagnosis may lead to cancer. So, I wanted to know can this be a cause of cancer to any extent?  <response>: Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He may have esophageal cancer or may be some benign lesion. Biopsy give the exact diagnosis, and then you should take treatment accordingly. Biopsy is not a cause of cancer spread. It just a diagnostic procedure. Just wait for your biopsy diagnosis and then take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
