Esophageal Cancer

Outline
Esophageal cancer is a tumor that is generated on the esophagus. The risk of esophageal cancer is heightened in case it is exposed to smoking, excessive drinking and Barret’s esophagitis for a long time. Patients are difficult to swallow solids, and feel pains. It can be diagnosed by esophagography and endosopy-based biopsy. Medical treatment becomes different as to tumor size, position, metastasis, and patient’s physical condition and age.
