A member asked:
What are the chances of having throat or esophagal cancer by the age of 25? about 4.5 pack years. had acid reflux but take prilosec now and its fine

Low risk at your age: Your risk of esophageal cancer is low at your age. I hope you are now an ex-smoker. However, if you have H. pylori infection as a cause of your reflux, you remain at risk for esophageal Ca. Take Mastic Gum (from a health food store) for your H. pylori and reflux. 1000 mg/day kills 99% of H. pylori in two weeks.
