Esophageal Cancer is that type of cancer which is associated to the esophagus. This type of cancer generally occurs through the lining tissues of esophagus. Esophagus is also known as food pipe which carries the food from throat to the stomach. This is an uncommon cancer. It is most common in the developing nations like Asia and African countries. Esophagus cancer can develop anywhere in the nearby parts of the esophagus. I can happen due to excessive smoking and drinking and also due to abnormal eating habits and the back action of the acid present in the stomach. There are two types of esophageal cancer one in the upper part and second in the lower part that are Squamous cell carcinoma and Adenocarcinoma of esophagus respectively.

  1. Esophageal cancer is a cancer of the tube that runs from the throat to the stomach. Here I observed the two types of cancer are squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of esophagus. Can you suggest any other blog on how to beat this cancer? Apart from this article I learned Springdale clinic.com is the right place to take treatment on mental health issues.
