    Reflux esophagitis is rarely cancerous, but reflux esophagitis will cause Barrett's esophageal complications if it is not treated for a long time, and this complication is likely to become cancerous, so reflux esophagitis may become cancerous if it is not cured for a long time. As long as it is active in the early stages**, reflux esophagitis is fine**. If there is abnormal pain during the illness, it should be checked in time to avoid delaying the condition.

    Reflux esophagitis is a disease with a high incidence nowadays, and most patients are middle-aged and elderly, but now the number of young patients is also increasing. This disease has a lot to do with irregular and unhealthy diet. Frequent overeating, or long-term smoking, can easily induce reflux esophagitis.

    Many patients worry that reflux esophagitis will become cancerous, so can reflux esophagitis turn into esophageal cancer? Next, this article will uncover the relationship between reflux esophagitis and esophageal cancer.

    Reflux esophagitis is a benign disease, so as long as it is active in the early stage, it will basically be very fast**, and it will rarely continue to develop into esophageal cancer. However, it should be noted that if reflux esophagitis does not improve its eating habits for a long time or does not improve its eating habits for a long time, resulting in reflux esophagitis, then it will cause complications of Barrett's esophagus. This complication is a major cause of esophageal cancer.

    Therefore, people with reflux esophagitis must pay attention to the disease, adjust their diet and life in the process, and try not to let reflux esophagitis or not cure for a long time. As long as Barrett's esophagus is not present, then it will not be cancerous.

    Some symptoms of reflux esophagitis are similar to esophageal cancer, but they can still be clearly distinguished, and patients also need to properly understand some of the differences between the two, so that they can be detected in time when there is an abnormality. Reflux esophagitis has a more pronounced acid reflux symptom, so patients often have a burning sensation in the esophagus. Esophageal cancer can also have esophageal pain, but the pain of esophageal cancer is not caused by acid reflux, the pain of esophageal cancer is continuous, accompanied by difficulty breathing, and some patients also have nausea and nausea.

    If the patient finds that the pain has changed significantly, then it is best to seek medical attention in time, and the rate is very high in the early stage of cancer.

    Therefore, it is necessary to be active in reflux esophagitis.

    So? According to experts from Qingdao Jingbei Hospital, the incidence of esophageal cancer is not very accurate, but if long-term reflux enters the esophagus, it may cause malignant transformation.

    Dysplasia can occur in the columnar epithelial area of the esophagus, and with the aggravation of the disease, its hyperplasia is also more and more aggravated, sometimes low-grade dysplasia is not easy to distinguish from normal columnar epithelium, and high-grade dysplasia and carcinoma in situ are also difficult to distinguish, and may progress to invasive cancer.
