Esophageal Cancer: How do I get started with Mayo?
Esophageal Cancer | Last Active: Jun 9, 2023 | Replies (24)Comment receiving replies
My husband had an egd with biopsies. Positive for invasive esophageal adenoma grade 2-3. We have a video appointment with Mayo in Rochester in a few days. Should we also engage local oncologist-we live in Florida? Should next steps (scans, etc) get done here or Mayo?

Welcome, @jmp1514, I moved your message to this existing discussion:

I did this so you can click the link and connect with fellow members like @dtaylor75 @sepdvm @pellaw @maryhelen @survivorsuz @puprluvr @lori57216 who have had care for esophageal cancer at Mayo Clinic and can help answer your questions about coordinating care with local doctors and experts at Mayo Clinic for esophageal cancer.
Regarding diagnostic testing, I might suggest asking during your video appointment. In general, Mayo Clinic can work with quality and recent imaging studies done elsewhere. However, if you haven't had the scans and tests done yet, they may advise to get them done at Mayo Clinic to ensure they get the imaging and quality they need.
You might appreciate the tips from members about video appointments and coordinating care locally in these discussions:
