Increased physical activity may reduce the risk of esophageal cancer, including esophageal adenocarcinoma, according to an observational study from Siddharth Singh, MD.
Dr. Singh and his team of researchers saw the risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma to be 32 percent lower and the risk of overall esophageal cancer to be 19 percent lower in patients who were physically active.
They also deduced that the rise in incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma may be linked to the rise in obesity.
