Esophagitis
is an inflammatory disease of the esophageal mucosa, mainly related to infection, drug factors, acid reflux, etc. It is a benign disease and does not directly lead to esophageal cancer. Generally speaking, the probability of developing esophageal cancer after suffering from esophagitis is relatively low. However, if esophagitis is long-term, untreated, and other risk factors, such as smoking and alcohol abuse, persist, it may lead to abnormal cell proliferation and increase the risk of esophageal cancer, but this process usually takes years or even decades.
