Esophageal Cancer

Esophageal Cancer

Esophageal cancer occurs when cancer cells develop in the esophagus which is the long, tube like structure that carries food and drink from your mouth to your stomach. The most common types of esophageal cancer are Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Adenocarcinoma. Signs and symptoms of esophageal cancer include difficulty swallowing, unintentional weight loss, chest pain, pressure or burning sensation, indigestion, coughing or hoarseness. Some risk factors include smoking, having gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), obesity, and drinking alcohol. Treatment depends on the stage of your cancer. You may require surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy or a combination of these treatments.
