Overview
Effective measures for the primary prevention of esophageal cancer include the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease and Barrett's esophagus, weight loss, avoidance of tobacco and alcohol, and a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
Primary Prevention
- Epidemiology data shows the following intervention may help to reduce the risk of esophageal cancer:
- Treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Barrett's esophagus early
- Prevention of injury to the esophagus
- Avoidance of tobacco and alcohol
- Diet rich in fruits and vegetables
- Avoid weight gain
Secondary prevention in terms of identifying high risk groups whom frequently smoke and drink alcohol through biomarkers and esophageal ultrasound has also been suggested. [1]
