Today is Periwinkle Power Day. Here's a reminder that chronic acid reflux is a risk factor for esophageal cancer. If you have chronic heartburn, talk to your doctor about screening.

Build awareness that potentially saves lives.

JAMA Network Open. RCT: Secondary Analysis of Long-Term Outcomes of Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy With S-1 for Esophageal Cancer. Population: 180 Male, 118 Female, median age 77 y. Intervention: 298 participants. Findings: CCRT group showed better survival rate.

Among older patients with #EsophagealCancer, concurrent chemoradiotherapy with S-1 improved long-term survival vs radiotherapy alone, with no increase in noncancer-related mortality over 8 years.

Esophageal Cancer: What It Is, Symptoms, and How It’s Treated - Drugs.com MedNews MONDAY, Jan. 26, 2026 Esophageal cancer is a tumor that forms inside your esophagus, the passageway through which food and water travel from your mouth to your

Esophageal cancer starts in the lining of the throat-to-stomach tube. Risk factors include reflux, obesity, smoking, and alcohol use. Many with reflux have no symptoms. If you're at risk, ask your doctor about screening endoscopy. #EsophagealCancer www.drugs.com/news/esophag...

Microbial dysbiosis may play a key role in ESCC etiology, offering potential pathways for earlier detection and more targeted treatment strategies. Research is early, but promising.

Association between legume consumption and risk of esophageal cancer among Chinese adults: a 17-year prospective cohort study - Cancer Causes & Control Purpose Epidemiological studies have reported the influence of legume consumption on multiple cancers risk, but the association in esophageal cancer (EC) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigated the prospective associations between legume consumption and EC risk, especially among Chinese populations. Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study with 15,184 participants aged 40 to 69 years from two high-risk areas of EC in China between 2005 and 2009, with follow-up until 2022. A validated questionnaire was used to collect the consumption frequency of major food groups at baseline and subsequent resurveys, including legume. The Cox proportional hazard regression was used to evaluate the multivariable hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association of legume consumption and EC risk. To quantify the linear association of legume consumption and EC risk and to account for regression dilution bias, the mean usual consumption amount for each baseline group was estimated by combining the consumption level at both baseline and the second resurvey. Results The final study sample included 15,184 participants in the cohort (mean [SD] baseline age, 51.8 [7.5] years). During a follow-up of 219,365 person-years, a total of 176 new EC cases were identified. Legume consumption was inversely associated with EC risk, with a 63% reduction in risk for participants who consumed legume regularly compared with nonconsumption (HR: 0.37; 95% CI 0.16, 0.84; p for trend = 0.022). After correction for regression dilution bias, each 10 g/day increased legume consumption was associated with a HR of 0.35 (0.13, 0.96) for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) risk. The associations were consistent across most subgroups and sensitivity analyses. Conclusion Higher frequency of legume consumption was associated with lower risk of EC among Chinese adults, particularly ESCC. Our findings suggest legume consumption may play an important role in preventing the development of EC.

New: "Higher frequency of legume consumption was associated with lower risk of EC among Chinese adults, particularly ESCC." 🫘 #esophagealcancer #cansky #oncosky #medsky #oncology #plantbased #plantprotein
