Esophageal Cancer. Medical Definition of Esophageal Cancer. Podcast

Esophageal cancer usually originates in the inner layers of the lining of the esophagus and grows outward. In time, the tumor can obstruct the passage of food and liquid, making swallowing painful and difficult.

Management options vary depending on the specifics of the injury.
