PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The role of transnasal esophagoscopy (TNE) in the evaluation and management of the head and neck cancer patient is evolving. This study reviews the most recent advances in the use of this technology in the head and neck patient population.
RECENT FINDINGS: It appears that in-office, unsedated TNE is a useful alternative to conventional endoscopy in the evaluation and management of the head and neck patient. The current literature defines the feasibility and limitations of this technology for screening for the development of synchronous and metachronous primaries, diagnosing esophageal and upper gastrointestinal disorders, as well as performing certain office-based procedures. Perhaps most importantly, TNE is better able to navigate the anatomical and functional limitations common to the head and neck patient, which can prevent use of conventional transoral endoscopy.
SUMMARY: TNE has a significant role in the evaluation and management of the head and neck cancer patient and it enables the otolaryngologist to provide improved quality of care.
