Any info on oesophageal adenocarcinoma?

Answer:
This is a type of cancer affecting the oesophagus (or food pipe) causing difficulty swallowing and possibly blockage.It is a difficult cancer to treat, but if surgery is an option then it can be quite successful in some.Personally, being involved in Complementary and Alternative Medicine, I have had some limited success using this type of approach. although I would never suggest this instead of the conventional treatments offered.I have also set up an online uk cancer support group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/uk_cancer_... - do look in and join if you feel it could be helpful - it's very new with only a few members currently, but it was only set up last week.I hope that you find the answers you need. Best Wishes.
