Esophageal cancer occurs in the esophagus (the muscular tube that connects the throat (pharynx) to the stomach). Esophageal Cancer usually starts in the cells that line the inside of the esophagus. It is uncommon in the United States, but when it does occur, it is more common in men than women and more common in the lower part of the esophagus. However, it can occur in both and women and anywhere along the esophagus.
