Odds of esaphageal cancer in 28yo male? feel like food stuck in chest on occasion. had clear upr endoscopy a few months ago. no smoking light drinking

Low: With a normal endoscopy a few months ago, the likelihood is very low. I would wonder more about something else in your chest putting pressure on your esophagus, anxiety, or reflux.
