'Bronchoscopy'

The laryngologist knows that patients who have a cancer of the lungs, throat, esophagus or mouth caused by smoking have a significantly higher chance of developing a second cancer in the same areas. This patient, who has a throat cancer, is undergoing bronchoscopy to ensure that there is not a second cancer in the lung area. A scope is inserted with an attached television camera into the trachea and all eyes are focused on the image on a monitor. We are anxiously viewing the tunnel shaped esophagus and finally see a tumor attached to its side.
