***Early detection is the key to having a fighting chance at this cancer, which has the second highest death rate of cancers as of this year (ECAA). It is a fact that most people do not discover they have EC until the later stages, giving them very little hope for survival of more than 5 years. Estimated new cases and deaths from esophageal cancer in the United States in 2007: New Cases: 15,560; Deaths: 13,940 (National Cancer Institute)***
