Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
can cause Cancer

.

This Thanksgiving,
Show your Gratitude by Sharing a
Life-Saving Message!

.

Join ECAN’s Campaign to Raise Awareness about the Risk Posed by GERD!

.

WHY:
ECAN commissioned a poll of more than 1,000 Americans and discovered that only 14% are aware that acid reflux or GERD can lead to cancer.  Yet, the kind of Esophageal Cancer caused by GERD is the fastest-increasing cancer among American men!  Help us change that.  Early detection saves lives.

.

HOW:
Download the videos and graphics on this page then SHARE them on Social Media or in Emails or Texts to your friends and family.

.

Feel free to share any of these materials on your website.

.

Every at-risk person you inform is a life you may have saved!

GET the FACTS


Why is GERD a “big deal”?

GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) can be an annoyance –
But it can also be a killer.
Persistent GERD can lead to Esophageal Cancer.
Most people won’t know they are at risk until it is too late!



Symptoms of GERD:

Many people think Heartburn is the only sign that you have GERD, but there are other symptoms to watch for:

                      • Persistent Cough,

                      • Tooth Erosion,

                      • Continuing Hoarse Voice,

                      • Frequent Sore Throat, and

                      • Choking when You Lie Down

You may be at increased risk for developing Esophageal Cancer.



Pills Don’t Take Away the Risk

Medications can often take away the annoying symptoms of heartburn

But they cannot eliminate the risk of developing Esophageal Cancer





If any of this sounds familiar to you or someone you love,
talk to a doctor about the risk of Barrett’s Esophagus or Esophageal Cancer.
