Chronic Heartburn May Boost Risk for Esophageal Cancer
FRIDAY, May 18 (HealthDay News) — Inflammation caused by chronic heartburn may increase the risk of esophageal cancer , a new study finds. The condition — formally known as gastroesophageal reflux disease ( GERD ) — occurs when a muscle at the end of the esophagus doesn’t close properly, allowing stomach contents to leak back into the esophagus and irritate it.

Genes that cause stomach cancer identified
Washington, April 9 (ANI): Hundreds of novel genes that are mutated in stomach cancer , the second-most lethal cancer worldwide, have been identified. The finding by an international team of scientists, led by researchers from the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School ( Duke-NUS ) in Singapore and National Cancer Centre of Singapore , paves the way for treatments tailored to the genetic make-up of individual stomach tumours . Stomach cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death globally with more than 700,000 deaths each year, and is particularly common in East Asia
