Duodenal Contents Reflux can Induce Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma as Well as Adenocarcinoma

Highlights

  • Esophageal carcinoma is the eighth most common cancer, and the sixth most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide [1]

  • Esophageal cancer can arise as esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) or esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), which have distinct etiological and pathological characteristics
