ABSTRACT
Esophageal cancer is a disease associated with high mortality because usually the diagnosis is delayed. There are multiple risk factors that may influence their appearance that can vary by the histological type. Almost 95% of these neoplasms involve 2 histological types: adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Do to the anatomical characteristics of the esophagus, symptoms may be absent, therefore difficult to suspect. There are multiple imaging tests that allow diagnosis and classification of the lesion in an accurate way. Surgery is the procedure with the best healing possibilities, however not every patient is candidate for the procedure. Therefore chemotherapy and radiotherapy provide a good treatment support as neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy.REFERENCES
