Not in short term: Cancer of the esophagus is a possible long tern consequence of reflux/Barrett's esophagitis. The fact that you have mild reflux, like a majority of adults, means there is no sign it will happen in the near term. If it worsens & you have it for decades it is might be something in your future. At this point I wouldn't lose sleep over it.
