HI. Most of the patients of depression have this feeling - ''something in throat''.
Endoscopy is direct visualization to see whether there is some mass or not.
So get the endoscopy done by ENT Surgeon. He may advise you CT or MRI if he feels so. And a negative report will prove that there is no cancer.
