The esophagus is a tube about 25 cm long that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. Reflux esophagitis and esophageal cancer are the main esophageal diseases. If you have symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation (a sour taste rising into the throat), or a feeling that food is getting stuck, please consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Head and neck cancer is a general term for malignant tumors that develop in the head and neck region, including the larynx, oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, nasal cavity, and nasopharynx. Because this area is involved in essential everyday functions such as breathing, swallowing, and speaking, treatment can be challenging. If you have a voice change lasting more than 6 weeks, a mouth sore that doesn't heal after 3 weeks, or a lump in the neck, please see an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist.2026-06-26
