This intriguing narrative provides an overview of esophageal cancers. The esophagus is the muscular tube that carries food and liquid from the mouth to the stomach. The two main types of esophageal cancer are squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Unfortunately, both types usually aren’t diagnosed until the cancer is very advanced. Although there are no guaranteed means of prevention, people can take steps to lower their risk including following a diet that is rich in fruit and vegetables, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking, and drinking only in moderation or not at all. Researchers are seeking better ways to treat esophageal cancer, detect it earlier, and hopefully even prevent it. Sidebars support the main narrative and a full resource section allows for further exploration.
