Esophageal cancer is malignancy of the esophagus. There are various subtypes. Esophageal tumors usually lead to dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), pain and other symptoms, and is diagnosed with biopsy. Small and localized tumors are treated with surgery, and advanced tumors are treated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy or combinations.

Good luck to everyone here. prayers and good thoughts being sent daily. Cindy
What terrific news!!!!
Keep doing what you've been doing. It seems to be working :-) I really am pleased at your news!!!
I go back for a CT scan in mid-January. I'm hoping we still have things under control. There is just nothing like seeing the pictures and hearing the words....
I will continue to keep you in our prayers.
All the best,
Fred
Keeping our group in my prayers each and every day.

I hope 2011 is a really great year for anyone dealing with EC. I am surprised that it is rarely mentioned and I do think I should try and get more involved in finding out why there's not more attention to it. I've thought about writing Oprah :-) She certainly seems to get the word out on things :-)
Well, congrats again & I hope we both (all) continue many, many years of hearing still cancer free :-) Brenda
