“I didn’t know that prolonged heartburn could cause me to lose two-thirds of my esophagus and one-third of my stomach. My name is Bart Frazzitta, and in 1999, I was diagnosed with an adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, more commonly known as esophageal cancer. My treatment included intense chemotherapy and radiation, and a 7-hour surgery.”
Esophageal Cancer is the fastest growing cancer in the United States and its survival rate, because it is discovered so late, due to its elusive symptoms, reflects only a 15% chance of surviving 5 years. 17,000 new cases were diagnosed in 2012, with a death toll of 15,000.
