Esophageal cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the esophagus. Smoking, heavy alcohol use, and Barrett esophagus can increase the risk of esophageal cancer. Signs and symptoms of esophageal cancer include: difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia), weight loss, heartburn, coughing or hoarseness. What treatments you receive for esophageal cancer are based on the type of cells involved in your cancer, your cancer's stage, your overall health and your preferences for treatment. Surgery is the most common treatment for cancer of the esophagus. Part of the esophagus may be removed in an operation called an esophagectomy or upper portion of stomach may also need to be removed (esophagogastrectomy).Chemotherapy drugs are typically used before (neoadjuvant) or after (adjuvant) surgery in people with esophageal cancer. Chemotherapy is often combined with radiation therapy. Targeted drug therapy or immunotherapy are also used to fight esophageal cancer.

What is Oesophagus (Food-Pipe) Cancer?

The oesophagus (food-pipe) carries food from the throat to the stomach. Cancer of the oesophagus arises when abnormal cells in this tube grow uncontrollably, impacting swallowing, leading to symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, weight loss or persistent heartburn. Early detection significantly improves outcomes.
