'''Endoscopy'''
===T cell subset analysis===
 
* This is especially useful for assessing CD4 T cell count, since this parameter is important for staging in the TIS staging system. It provides information about the immune competence of a patient. T cell subsets may need to be monitored during treatment. Disease can relapse even in the presence of normal CD4 T cell counts.
