My husband was just diagnosed with esphosogest cancer after having endoscopy. The camera came up all bloody from going through the cancer. Does that mean the cancer was spread up to his throat? And further.??? Please let me know

Thank you for this clear presentation. I was diagnosed with Stage 3 esophageal cancer nine months ago (adenocarcinoma and poorly differentiated neuroendocrine - which I understand is rare and aggressive). I've been treated with chemo (cisplatin & at MSK and just had the first of 12 immunotherapy treatments with nivolumab. I'm encouraged by the potential of immunotherapy and remain cautiously optimistic about the future.

I was just diagnosed with adenocarcinoma esophagus cancer have yet to be staged. First pet scan to be done was cancelled do to the place not having the medicine before the scan they ran out. Reschedule for a week later now waiting to see oncology doc again to see how or if it spread. Now almost a month and a half not knowing what stage is got me stressed but few more days will see oncology doctor again to see where this goes.

If the United States doesn’t do screening on this, how is cancer considered, unless a biopsy is done on that growth .?( tumor)

As a non smoker and just very occasional drinker my oncologist just put my cancer down to bad luck. So much for science and physiology. Is there any hard evidence on whether oral sex plays any part in esophageal cancer. Why can't you suggest by the age of 45 all men have a routine endoscopy to check the condition of their esophagus. Easy screening test I would have thought. Thanks for the video, love the slides, easy to understand. I would like to know now what were my bio markers. I am taking nivolumab once a fortnight now after having surgery and cross therapy earlier. I was told by my surgical team that I was clear of cancer after surgery as far as the microscopic eye could see. I pray that the immunotherapy can keep the beast away.

So adenocarcinoma could potentially be genetic, because gerd etc is often genetic? Where's squamous cell carcinoma is more likely environmental...
