Acid Reflux and Esophageal Cancer
The association between long-term symptoms of acid reflux (heartburn) and the development of esophageal adenocarcinoma is the focus of this article. Adenocarcinoma is a predominant form of esophageal cancer involving glandular cells of the lower esophagus.

Helicobacter pylori infection and gastric cancer
Helicobacter pylori infection in the stomach is a primary cause of ulcers and has been implicated in the development of gastric cancer. Conversely, new studies indicate that eradication of the bacterium may increase the risk for esophageal cancer.

Signal Transduction Inhibitors
Signal transduction is any biochemical communication from one part of a cell to another in order to initiate processes such as growth or cell division. Since signal transduction is over stimulated in many cancers, the development of inhibitors of the process represents promising new therapies.
