Endoscopy/Colposcopy

Are these the same thing? I had an appt on Sunday in which a polyp was removed and a biopsy taken but the letter said it was an endoscopy and I thought it would be a colposcopy for the cervix? 

  • Hi DinkyD33 and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I hope this information we have about the endoscopy and colposcopy procedures will help clear things up but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our nurses, you can do so on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to answer your questions about this and anything else that's on your mind.

    I'm sure it won't be long until you receive some support and advice from our members as well.

    Kind regards,
