This cancer in its early stages usually does not cause symptoms, once advanced can cause pain or difficulty swallowing, weight loss, hoarse voice or cough that does not stop.

A person has a higher risk of getting esophageal cancer if they smoke or drink a lot of alcohol. Or you have a lot of stomach acid reflux. This risk increases with the years.
