I have gerd, i am scared for getting esophageal cancer, are certain people more at risk?

Yes: If you have had long standing gerd symptoms, your primary care physician should arrange for a screening endoscopy, or a look down your esophagus with a flexible camera to discover any dammage to the lining of your esophagus.

True, but...: While gerd can put you at higher risk, remember that overall esophageal cancer is an uncommon outcome of gerd!

Yes too: Agree with both drs back and cooke. You can check the following internet link for additional information on esophageal cancer and risk factors: http://www.Cancer.Net/cancer-types/esophageal-cancer/risk-factors.
