Oesophageal cancer

Oesophageal (pronounced uh-sof-uh-jee-all) cancer is cancer of the oesophagus, which is the long tube through which food and drink pass from your mouth to the stomach. In Australia, most oesophageal cancers start in the lower part of the oesophagus, where it meets the stomach.

Oesophageal cancer occurs when cells in the oesophagus grow in a way that’s not normal. It usually begins in the inner lining of the oesophagus.
