Ct scan shows thickening of lower esophagus wall. is that cancer or what is it. i am concerned. thanks?

Abnormal CT scan: Thickening of the esophageal wall does not necessarily mean cancer but should be ideally checked out by a gastroenterologist who can perform an Endoscopic exam which means examination via a tube with a lighted camera, especially if there are symptoms.
