Brief Answer:
Considerations.

Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.

Gastroesophageal reflux has not been associated with developing of lymphoma in the area of the pancreas. Long-standing gastroesophageal reflux however can contribute to the development of cancer of the esophagus.

In the setting of lymphoma however, gastroesophageal reflux would have a limited contributing role.

I trust that you have been evaluated by a medical oncologist for further discussion of appropriate staging and treatment.

Thanks again for sending your question. Please follow up with your doctors as scheduled.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
