Combank Q: EGD vs Endoscopy

Members do not see this ad.

Is there a difference? They have both as answers for evaluation of candida esophagitis. I thought the terms were basically interchangeable. I can't find a concrete answer online, and many sites start by stating "EGD, also known as upper endoscopy".

well apparently combank believes EGD is superior to endoscopy for candida esophagitis somehow.
