“Esophageal cancer is a kind of cancer that affects the oesophagus, which is a long, hollow tube that connects your throat to your stomach. Esophageal cancer normally starts in the cells that line the esophagus’s interior. Esophageal cancer can develop at any point in the oesophagus. According to the Mayo Clinic website, “esophageal cancer affects more males than women.”

“Esophageal cancer is the sixth most prevalent cause of cancer deaths globally,” it said. The rates of infection change depending on where you live. Tobacco and alcohol use, as well as certain food habits and obesity, may be linked to greater prevalence of esophageal cancer in specific areas.”
