Esophagus cancer is less likely to run in generations.. But if you have strong family history, consult an Oncologist for better understanding

Genetic tests are usually done if there is a very strong family history. If there is such a thing in your family....you can meet doctors in preventive oncology department.

If you have a family history of cancer (your mom's brothers, sisters or mom or dad ) had similar or any cancers, then you need annual screening. Other wise no genetic tests required. An annual screening will help you. There are screening packages available in all hospitals. If still confused, contact me.
