A member asked:
Does most oeasophogus cancer start from barretts disease and always a cough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes/No: esophagus cancer may or may not be related to barretts disease. Cough is not an early symptom of this cancer. It is usually difficulty in getting the food down to the stomach as the food starts to get stuck and requires liquids to push it down. It is called Dysphagia, it is an early clue that something is growing inside the food pipe(esophagus). Endoscopy is the answer to find out more about it.
