Re: risk factors for GI disorders zkadhem - 07-21-09 10:58 For sequamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus I think it is linked to the Alcohol and tobacco use which are the principal modifiable risk factors for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
For adenocarcinoma of the esophagus it is linked to GERD
