Another anki card states this:

What is done 1st in the workup for dysphagia and suspected esophageal cancer to identify the location of lesion(s)?

Answer: EGD

Notes - This card previously stated "Barium swallow", however, AMBOSS confirms that "EGD" is now first-line and barium swallow is inferior to EGD. (May 2023)

Text Text
Extra
Barium swallow is done first to identify the area of the lesion and to rule out cancer high in the esophagus (which might perforate if an EGD is done first)
