Esophageal Cancer
Esophageal cancer is a type of cancer that affects the esophagus, a long tube that carries food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach. It is caused by a buildup of abnormal cells in the tissues of the esophagus. Symptoms of esophageal cancer include difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, weight loss, and chest pain. If left untreated, the cancer can spread to other parts of the body and cause serious health problems. Treatment options for esophageal cancer vary depending on the stage of cancer, but can include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and surgery. Early detection is key to improving the prognosis for esophageal cancer, and regular screening is recommended for people at high risk.
