Diseases of the Esophagus
-
The esophagus is a tube that carries the food we swallow from our mouth to our stomach. The following are a few of the diseases that can involve it.

Barrett's Esophagus
Chronic irritation of the esophageal lining may cause a tranformation of the cells from squamous (like pancakes) to columnar (stacked like bricks). This condition has a higher risk of developing esophageal cancer.
