Esophageal cancer occurs in the esophagus — a long, hollow tube that runs from the throat to the stomach — and can occur anywhere along the esophagus. Men are more likely to develop esophageal cancer than women. While treatable, esophageal cancer is rarely curable. • It's an uncommon cancer, says Dr. Shanda Blackmon, a Mayo Clinic general thoracic surgeon. But it's one of the deadliest cancers we know. • Dr. Blackmon says survival rates are improving, but many people don't realize they have esophageal cancer until it's in the advanced stages. • In this Mayo Clinic Q A podcast, Dr. Blackmon discusses the risks, causes, symptoms and advances in treatments for esophageal cancer. She also explains what patients can expect with a diagnostic endoscopy and describes a new technique at Mayo Clinic that involves dropping a sponge down the patient's esophagus. • ____________________________________________ • For the safety of its patients, staff and visitors, Mayo Clinic has strict masking policies in place.
