April is Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month and there are many ways in which you can get involved and make a difference!

The Salgi Esophageal Cancer Research Foundation is raising awareness, encouraging early detection and funding research of esophageal cancer.

In 2015, The Salgi Esophageal Cancer Research Funded esophageal cancer research.  Then in 2018, the charity funded esophageal cancer research AGAIN!  Now in 2021, this research is currently underway. Click here to read more!   

In 2022, The Salgi Esophageal Cancer Research Foundation opened the Grant Program for the THIRD time and plans to fund research in 2023.

Now more than ever, your support is critically needed to enable this charity to fulfill our mission.

Please help us continue to fund research.  Spread the word, donate and never give up… in hopes of a cure™!

Esophageal Cancer Facts:

  • Esophageal cancer adenocarcinoma (EAC) has increased over 700% in the past four decades.
  • Esophageal cancer is considered the fastest growing cancer in the United States, according to the National Cancer Institute.
  • Obesity, chronic heartburn or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and smoking can lead to esophageal damage and cancer.
  • Stage IV esophageal cancer [adenocarcinoma] has a survival rate of only 5.7%.
  • Symptoms often arise too late, once the cancer has spread and becomes difficult if not impossible to treat, thus making esophageal adenocarcinoma a highly lethal tumor.
  • Unlike other deadly cancers, there are no routine or standard screening tests to detect esophageal cancer in its earliest stages.
  • Only 20.6% of patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer will survive 5(+) years.
  • In 2023, an estimated 21,560 will be diagnosed with esophageal cancer and there will be an estimated 16,120 deaths from esophageal cancer.¹
  • Despite its rapid increase and poor prognosis, esophageal cancer research receives very little private or government funding.
    • The National Cancer Institute decreased its investment in research of esophageal cancer by 15% in 2012.
    • In 2013, esophageal cancer research funding was again decreased.  The National Cancer Institute invested only $26.5 million for esophageal cancer research out of their total $4.79 billion budget.
    • In 2017, The National Cancer Institute spent $31.8 million for esophageal cancer research out of their total $5.6 billion budget.
    • In 2018, NCI again decreased its investment in research of esophageal cancer to $29,804,836.

The statistics relating to esophageal cancer are devastating and need to be changed immediately.  You have the power to make a difference and ensure esophageal cancer receives the same resources and attention as other deadly cancers.   Join this life-saving mission today!

April is Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month!  I’m making a difference in honor of (loved one’s name) by supporting @SalgiFoundation  SALGI.org/donate.

Did you know @SalgiFoundation funded #EsophagealCancer research?! Help them fund further research this year! SALGI.org/donate.

Don’t ignore chronic heartburn! It could be a symptom of reflux disease and may increase the risk of #EsophagealCancer. Learn more: SALGI.org/heartburn.

Esophageal cancer research is critically underfunded.  I donated to @SalgiFoundation. You can support this mission, too: SALGI.org/donate.

Did you know #EsophagealCancer is considered one of the fastest growing cancer in the US?  You can help @SalgiFoundation make a difference: SALGI.org/ways-to-help.

There are no routine screening tests to diagnose #EsophagealCancer.  Early detection is important to saving lives.  Know the signs and symptoms:  SALGI.org/symptoms.

Chronic heartburn is one risk factor associated with #EsophagealCancer.  Learn more about other risk factors here: SALGI.org/risks.

#EsophagealCancer’s overall 5-year survival rate is only 20.6%.  Awareness, early detection and research are three important ways to change these statistics.  Learn more: SALGI.org.
