Esophagitis canceration?

Esophagitis can be cancerous, but not all esophagitis will develop into cancer.

Mild, transient esophagitis is usually less likely to cause cancer directly. However, if it is not effectively controlled and treated for a long time, repeated inflammatory stimulation may increase the risk of dysplasia of the esophageal mucosa, which may gradually develop into esophageal cancer. This is because the continuous damage of reflux products such as gastric acid to the esophageal mucosa will promote abnormal cell changes.

For patients with esophagitis, regular endoscopic examination and monitoring are very important to detect abnormal changes in the esophageal mucosa, such as early signs of precancerous lesions such as dysplasia, so that appropriate treatment measures can be taken.
