Esophageal and gastric diseases include a range of conditions affecting the esophagus and stomach, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Barrett's esophagus, esophageal cancer, gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer. Symptoms often include heartburn, difficulty swallowing, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss. Risk factors can be lifestyle-related (diet, smoking, alcohol), infections (H. pylori), and genetic predisposition. Diagnostic methods include endoscopy, imaging, and biopsy. Treatments vary based on the specific disease and may involve medications, lifestyle modifications, and surgical interventions. Early detection and management are crucial to prevent complications and improve patient outcomes.
