Is mass cancer similar to the cancer of the esophagus???

Question

ok.. it's like this. my uncle got a mass cancer. i really don't know anything about it. i think it's not a common cancer type(or is it??) because i've never heard of it. while browsing the net, i've found a site talking about the cancer of the esophagus.. this had been one of the search results when i entered mass cancer in the search bar of yahoo.. the first item i think.. well... i just want to know if those two cancer types are just the same.. thanks!

Answer 1

Mass cancer is a descriptioin not a type.  A mass refers to size or amount of tumor (disease) found. A small mass would be small amount of disease .. a large mass would indicate a larger size with possibly many smaller sizes there too.

It has  nothing to do with the esophagus.
