What is Esophageal Cancer?

Esophageal cancer refers to a cancerous (malignant) growth in the lining of the esophagus — the muscular tube that connects your throat to your stomach. It is often diagnosed in the later stages due to unclear symptoms initially. In India, it is more common in men and strongly linked to tobacco, alcohol use, chronic acid reflux, and dietary habits.
