Esophageal cancer, also known as oesophageal cancer, is a malignant tumor that affects the esophagus (the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach). Other synonyms for esophageal cancer include esophageal carcinoma, cancer of the esophagus, and throat cancer. The condition is often characterized by difficulty swallowing, unintentional weight loss, and chest pain. The two main types of esophageal cancer are adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Adenocarcinoma affects the cells in the glandular tissue of the esophagus while squamous cell carcinoma arises from the flat cells that line the esophagus. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in managing esophageal cancer.
