Cáncer esofágico
Nombres alternativos:
Cáncer del esófago
Prevención:
Evitar el consumo de cigarrillo y reducir o eliminar el consumo de alcohol pueden ayudar a disminuir el riesgo de desarrollar cáncer escamoso del esófago.
La vigilancia con una EGD (esofagogastroduodenoscopia) y una biopsia en individuos con esófago de Barrett pueden conducir a una detección temprana del cáncer y a aumentar la posibilidad de supervivencia. Las personas con sÃntomas de reflujo severo deben buscar atención médica.
Las personas a quienes se les ha diagnosticado esófago de Barrett deben acudir a un gastroenterólogo (especialista en el sistema digestivo) al menos cada año.
