Types of Esophageal Cancer
Doctors use tests to find out if cancer has spread -- or metastasized -- from the esophagus into nearby tissues and lymph nodes. This process is called staging. It helps your doctors plan treatment.
Squamous cell carcinoma starts in squamous cells, flat cells that line the esophagus. It usually begins in the middle or upper part of the esophagus, but can occur anywhere.
