A member asked:

I ate some hot cheese fondue and i felt some inside pains, will i get esophageal cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Hot food can occasionally cause esophagitis. Most esophageal malignancies that occur today are at the stomach (cardiac ) esophageal junction and are induced by organisms such as helicobacter pylori which causes mucosl changes bringing in bone marrow stem cells to repair the inflammation. These are the cells that are then converted to cancer with hot food having no effect.
