Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I justread portions of the article on the site entitled " Achalasia and related misdiagnoses " , and frankly I wish I hadn't read it. From what I gather, according to this article, achalasia is actually caused by obstruction and that sometimes this obstruction is a cancerous tumor that often is not even detectable by endoscoppy. So should we take this to mean that any any given point in time our swallowing disorders/achalasia may be caused by a cancerous tumor that even our doctors haven't been able to discover by endoscope. Am I interpreting this article correctly and has anyone else read it recently. It certainly doesn't put ones' fears of the possiblity of cancer to rest. Any thoughts on this???
