·                ⚠️ 39% increased risk of death from this cancer

·                 Only 20% survival rate at 5 years

·                ✅ When detected early as Barrett’s Esophagus—a highly treatable pre-cancer—you can be monitored and treated to prevent cancer from developing

Do You Qualify?   You are eligible if you have any 3 or more of the following:
