Summary

This research study is being done for 2 reasons: 1) The investigators want to learn about the eating, smoking and drinking habits of adults, 18 years of age and older, in various Chicago communities, and 2) the investigators want to offer screening for participants whose smoking and drinking habits put them at risk for cancer.

Conditions

  • Esophageal Cancer

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Transnasal Esophagoscopy (TNE)

While seated in an upright position a topical numbing medicine will be sprayed in your nose and the back of your throat. A thin, flexible tube less than ¼ inch in diameter, will be placed in one of your nostrils and advanced to the back of your throat. When the tube reaches the back of the throat you will be asked to drink sips of water to help move the tube into and down the esophagus as it is advanced. The tip of the tube has a small light and camera built in that allows the doctor to see the structures of the mouth and esophagus as the tube is advanced. Once the tube is in the esophagus, the physician will examine your esophagus for any abnormal changes. Once the visual inspection is complete the tube will be gently removed through your nose. The procedure will take approximately 10-15 minutes of time.
