A member asked:

Would it be rare to get oesophogus cancer when only had a endoscopy 2 years ago and all clear no barretts just acid reflux?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Esophageal cancer: yes, this would be rare -- alcohol is a risk factor for esophageal cancer, as is acid reflux - work to minimize GERD -- small bites, small meals, chew well, drink fluid thru meal; take acid blocker such as omeprazole or ranitidine
