The most common types of esophageal cancer are squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AEC). The leading causes for SCC are tobacco use (smoking and chewing) and alcohol consumption. Adenocarcinoma, on the other hand, is strongly linked to obesity, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and Barrett’s esophagus.
