Possible, unlikely: The cancer type of the esophagus that occurs with reflux is adenocarcinoma. Esophageal adenocarinoma usually in a setting of gerd and barrets esophagus, age 60's, m>f. If your prior endoscopy did not show barrets or dysplasia 8 months ago, it is unlikely. However, best to have further evaluation from your gastroenterologist. Best wishes.
