Preventing oesophageal cancer thanks to knowledge of your DNA

Oesophageal cancer, also known as oesophageal carcinoma, is a form of cancer of the oesophagus and generally starts in the mucous membrane. In recent years the number of cases of oesophageal cancer has risen sharply. Oesophageal cancer is mainly diagnosed in people over the age of 60 and affects more men than women. Typical symptoms include problems with swallowing and pain. The prognosis for oesophageal cancer is poor, unless the disease is detected at an early stage.

The risk of oesophageal cancer is determined to some extent by hereditary factors. To date it has been scientifically proven that a number of genes play a role in this. On the basis of your DNA it is therefore possible to see clearly whether you have an increased or reduced risk of developing oesophageal cancer.
