hi,

The esophagus is a hollow muscular tube that’s responsible for moving food from the throat to the stomach. Esophageal cancer can occur when a malignant tumor forms in the lining of the esophagus. As the tumor grows, it can affect the deep tissues and muscle of the esophagus. A tumor can appear anywhere along the length of the esophagus, including where the esophagus and the stomach meet.

Hey there,

Esophageal cancer (also called Oesophageal Cancer) is cancer that occurs in the esophagus (it is a long, hollow tube that runs from your throat to your stomach). It usually begins in the cells that line the inside of the esophagus and can occur anywhere along the esophagus. More men than women get esophageal cancer.

I hope it helps.
