What is cancer of the esophagus?
Answers (1)
The esophageal cancer is the abnormal growth of cells in the esophagus.
The most common location for cancer to develop in the esophagus is at the gastro-esophageal junction, i.e. the bottom of the esophagus where it joins the stomach.
Esophageal cancer can be divided into two main types: squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. The former arise in the cells that line the esophagus while the later arises in the galndular cells of the esophagus.
