Esophageal cancer is cancer that occurs in the esophagus (a long, hollow tube that runs from your throat to your stomach, also called the esophagus or esophagus). The esophagus that you eat carries it to the stomach for digestion.

Cancer of the esophagus usually begins in cells that are inside the esophagus. Cancer of the esophagus can occur anywhere in the esophagus. Men have more cancer of the esophagus than women.

In many regions of the world, such as parts of Asia and Africa, canal cancer is very common.

There are known factors that play a major role in increasing the risk of developing esophageal cancer. This includes alcohol consumption, smoking, gastroesophageal reflux disease, Barrett's esophagus, overweight or obesity, not consuming enough fruits and vegetables, etc.

The cause of esophageal cancer

Like other types of cancer, the cause of the esophagus is still unknown. However, there are known factors that play a major role in increasing the risk of developing esophageal cancer. This includes alcohol consumption, smoking, gastroesophageal reflux disease, Barrett's esophagus, overweight or obesity, not consuming enough fruits and vegetables, etc.

With the increasing stages of cancer in the esophagus, the likelihood of some complications increases, including severe pain, esophageal bleeding, obstruction of the esophagus, or difficulty in swallowing food and liquid.

The following are the stages of cancer in the esophagus

Stage 0 - Cancer does not develop at this stage, only abnormal cells are found.

Stage I - Cancer in this stage is limited only to the cells found in the lining of the alimentary canal.

Stage II- In this stage, the tumor cells have spread to the outer wall of the alimentary canal. In addition, the cancer can spread to 1 to 2 lymph nodes nearby.

Stage III - This stage means that the cancer has spread deep into the inner muscle layer or connective tissue wall. And this cancer can spread to the organs around the esophagus or most of the nearby lymph nodes.

IV Stage - This is the most developed and advanced stage of cancer. This means that cancer has spread to other organs in the body or away from the alimentary canal to the lymph nodes.

Types of cancer in the esophagus

Food pipe cancer is classified based on the type of cells. There are two main types of cancer in the esophagus:

Squamous cell carcinoma - A type of esophageal cancer of squamous cell carcinoma, begins in flat, thin cells forming the lining of the esophagus (esophagus). This type of cancer is most visible in the upper or middle part of the esophagus.

Adenocarcinoma - When cancer starts in the cells of the glands that produce mucous-like fluid in the esophagus, it is a type of cancer called adenocarcinoma. Adenocarcinoma most commonly affects the lower part of the esophagus.

Other rare types - Other rare types of esophageal cancer may include Small cell carcinoma, sarcoma, lymphoma, melanoma, and choriocarcinoma.

What is the treatment for throat cancer?

Surgery

If the cancer of the alimentary canal is small and not spreading, the doctor may remove the tumor using an endoscope and minimally invasive surgery. In severe cases, it is also possible to remove the upper part of the abdomen during surgery. Laparoscopic surgery cuts the food pipe where the cancer cells are, and cuts the stomach to the throat.

Chemotherapy

Under chemotherapy, cancer cells are destroyed using certain drugs. Chemotherapy may be recommended before or after surgery. Sometimes chemotherapy can also be used with radiation therapy. Some possible side effects may occur under chemotherapy, including:

• Hair fall
• Nausea
• Vomit
• Feeling tired, etc.

Radiation therapy

Radiation therapy uses a beam of radiation to kill cancer cells. Radiation may be given externally or internally to treat cancer. Internal radiation therapy is called brachytherapy. Radiation therapy is commonly used as well as chemotherapy. After radiation therapy, a person may feel the following side effects, such as:

• Sunburn
• Experiencing pain or difficulty swallowing
• Feeling tired
• Painful ulcers in the lining of the food pipe, etc.
