Thoracic malignancies includes cancer of esophagus, lung and mediastinum (all cancers within the rib cage).

These tumours might not cause any symptoms unless they are in a certain location or grow to a certain size. Small tumours might not cause any symptoms and may be found accidentally when the doctor is looking for some other problem. The symptoms relate to the organ affected and can include obstruction (leading to difficulty in swallowing or defecating), abnormal bleeding or other associated problems.

The major risk factors are :

• Smoking and consumption of alcohol
• Infection with bacteria known as H.Pylori, known to cause ulcers in the stomach
• Heavy consumption of smoked meat, fish & food with high quantity of salt
• Recent study has shown that obesity is a predisposing risk factor
