Abstract

Esophageal pathologies are complex and lend themselves to multivariable analysis before a definitive diagnosis can be considered. It is imperative that the clinician establish a methodology for selecting the appropriate technological assessment within scientific testing parameters to establish optimal clinicopathological presentation and determine best practice for patient care.
