It often begins in the cells lining the inside of the esophagus and can lead to difficulties in swallowing and other digestive issues as it progresses

  3. Risk factors Of Esophageal Cancer Esophageal cancer risk factors include smoking, as it damages esophageal cells; excessive alcohol consumption, which irritates the lining; obesity, as it increases reflux; and GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), leading to chronic inflammation, all contributing to the development of this cancer.

  4. Types Of Esophageal Cancer Esophageal cancer primarily manifests as adenocarcinoma, commonly found in the lower esophagus linked to acid reflux. Adenocarcinoma arises from glandular cells.

  5. Types Of Esophageal Cancer Squamous cell carcinoma, typically located in the upper esophagus associated with smoking and alcohol use. squamous cell carcinoma emerges from the thin, flat cells lining the esophagus. Both types present distinct risk factors and locations within the esophagus, impacting their treatment approaches and prognosis.

  6. Common Symptoms Of Esophageal Cancer Esophageal cancer may present symptoms like difficulty swallowing, persistent indigestion or heartburn, unexplained weight loss, and chest pain or discomfort. These signs often appear in the later stages, prompting early medical evaluation for timely diagnosis and treatment
