Just as one is drawn to warm soup on a cold winter day, people tend to seek hot coffee. However, these foods can be deadly to the esophagus. When the esophagus is damaged, the risk of developing esophageal cancer increases, and if not detected early, it can be life-threatening.

A man in his 70s who frequently experienced reflux esophagitis and suffered from gastric ulcers. He usually thought it was just indigestion and bought medication from the pharmacy. When the indigestion worsened, he visited a gastroenterology clinic and was diagnosed with esophageal cancer.

If he had paid more attention to his symptoms and treated reflux esophagitis earlier, he might have avoided esophageal cancer.
