No, but see your: Doctor to find a cause and effective treatment for your problems, since constant stomach acid in the distal esophagus can lead to an abnormal esophageal lining and could eventually become cancer, but not in 2 months at your age.

Esophagus Ca: Occurs in people that smoke and drink, or are over weight with reflux. The hpv genes are found in some tumors, no clarity of the implication there. It is rare under 40. It is highly unlikely that cancer is the cause of your symptoms at your age. You might seek a second opinion from a medical GI to root out cause.

Can esophageal cancer be missed during an endoscopy? I often have a dull pain there. Would LPR or GERD be the cause as well? Diagnosed-gastritis.
