A doctor has provided 1 answer

Extremely : It would be extremely rare for a 22 year-old to get esophageal cancer. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine
