Esophageal cancer happens when the tissue that connect to the esophagus
becomes malignant. The esophagus is the tube that connects to the throat
and that connects to the stomach letting the food pass.
The two most common types of esophageal cancer are; Squamous cell
carcinoma and Adenocarcinoma
nearly 17,000 people in the United States will be diagnosed with esophageal
cancer and 15,690 will die of the disease in 2016.
Other risk factors include older age, being male, and being African-American.
Heavy alcohol use and smoking are major causes.
