Oesophageal cancer - Generics
Esophageal cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the cells of the esophagus, which is the muscular tube that carries food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach. It is a relatively rare type of cancer, but is often aggressive and can spread quickly to other parts of the body if not detected and treated early.
Symptoms of esophageal cancer can include:
- Difficulty swallowing, which may progress over time
- Chest pain or discomfort, especially when eating or drinking
- Unintentional weight loss
- Hoarseness or chronic cough
- Vomiting, sometimes containing blood
Risk factors for esophageal cancer include:
- Chronic acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Smoking or using tobacco products
- Heavy alcohol use
- Obesity
- Age over 50 years
- A history of Barrett's esophagus, a condition in which the cells lining the esophagus change and become abnormal
Diagnosis of esophageal cancer typically involves an endoscopy, which allows a healthcare provider to examine the esophagus and take a tissue sample for biopsy. Other tests, such as imaging scans, may be used to determine the extent of the cancer and whether it has spread to other parts of the body.
Treatment for esophageal cancer may involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these approaches, depending on the stage and location of the cancer. In some cases, palliative care may be recommended to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Regular follow-up care is important for monitoring the cancer and detecting any potential recurrence.
