Esophageal Cancer
Esophageal cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach. Detecting it in a timely manner favors better follow-up.
Frequent symptoms:
- Difficulty or discomfort when swallowing
- A feeling that food gets stuck
- Weight loss with no clear cause
- Pain or discomfort in the chest
When to see a doctor? When difficulty swallowing that progresses or persistent digestive symptoms appear, it is important to seek evaluation without postponing it.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist studies the esophagus and, when there is an oncologic diagnosis, the oncologist and the surgeon coordinate the follow-up. Discussing your symptoms with a professional makes it possible to guide the appropriate studies.
