Introduction Two most common forms of esophageal cancer include squamous cell carcinoma most commonly seen in the upper 2/3 of the esophagus risk factors include EtOH, smoking, achalasia, Plummer-Vinson adenocarcinoma located at the lower 1/3 of the esophagus (GE junction) most commonly a sequelae of Barrett's esophagus Presentation Symptoms dysphagia weight loss back pain chest pain hoarseness involvement of recurrent laryngeal nerve Physical exam painless enlargement of supraclavicular nodes (Virchow's nodes) Evaluation Serology squamous cell - hypercalcemia due ectopic production of PTHrP Histology keratin nests and pearls with intercellular bridging Endoscopy/Esophagogram
