A member asked:
With esophageal cancer, what causes odynophagia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Invasion of the esophageal wall by tumor, muscle spasm from obstruction to the flow of food, invasion of nerves by cancer are some of the causes. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV and Covid vaccines.
