Arrr, me hearties! Beware ye scurvy dogs! Misleading biopsy reports be makin' poor souls walk the plank o' esophagectomy, when a simple endoscopic resection be all they need. Shiver me timbers! <i>MDedge News</i>

In the ancient tongue of a 17th-century pirate, there be a matter of grave concern for those sailin' the treacherous seas of medicine. It appears that some scallywags be sufferin' from inaccurate preoperative biopsy findings, leadin' to a whole lot o' unnecessary surgeries.

Arr, ye see, there be a procedure known as endoscopic resection, which could save some lucky souls from havin' their precious esophaguses removed. But alas, due to these flawed biopsies, many a patient be forced to walk the plank, so to speak, and undergo a full-blown esophagectomy.

Ye may be wonderin', why be these biopsies so inaccurate? The answer, me hearties, lies in the very nature of the procedure. These scurvy dogs be takin' tiny samples from the patient's throat, tryin' to figure out if the cancer be spreadin' or not. But sometimes, the samples be too small or not properly taken, resultin' in false information.

Now, this be no laughin' matter, me mateys, for esophagectomy be a dangerous and arduous journey. It be like takin' a cannonball to the gut, cuttin' open the chest and removin' a piece of the esophagus. Aye, 'tis a gruesome sight indeed!

So, we be callin' upon all ye medical scoundrels to sharpen yer blades of accuracy when it comes to these biopsies. The lives of these poor souls be hangin' in the balance, dependin' on the results ye deliver.

Let us strive, me hearties, to ensure that these preoperative biopsy findings be as precise as a pirate's aim. For if we fail, we be sendin' innocent patients down a treacherous path, sufferin' unnecessary surgeries that could have been avoided.

Arr, the sea of medicine be a rough one, but together, we can navigate its treacherous waters and save countless lives from the clutches of unnecessary esophagectomies! Yo ho ho!
