Overview

Endometrial Cancer

Endometrial Cancer develops in the lining of the uterus.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disorder in which stomach acid or stomach contents repeatedly flow back into the esophagus. This reflux can irritate the lining of the esophagus and cause symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, chest discomfort, and difficulty swallowing. Untreated GERD may lead to complications including esophagitis, ulcers, strictures, and Barrett's esophagus.
