5. GERD that is Worsening

Because some people who develop esophageal cancer do so because of GERD, it stands to reason that as the cancer starts to develop chronic symptoms of GERD may get worse. Many people report that their indigestion and heartburn continue to bother them even in the presence of medications to treat GERD. If you have GERD and your medications are not working speak to your doctor now. They may need to adjust your medications to lower your risk of future cancer, or they may decide to screen for cancer now.
