A study found that eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is not associated with an increased risk of esophageal cancer in US adults under 65 with private insurance. Researchers analyzed data from 5562 patients with esophageal cancer and found that only a small number had a prior diagnosis of EoE. Patients with esophageal cancer were more likely to have symptoms associated with esophageal cancer but less likely to have allergic diseases. The study suggests that EoE may not be a risk factor for esophageal cancer and further research is needed to explore this relationship in different populations and with different types of esophageal cancer.
