Cancer of the esophagus can cause bleeding due to the tumor invading nearby blood vessels or tissues, leading to erosion and ulceration. As the cancer grows, it can disrupt the normal structure of the esophagus, making it more susceptible to damage and bleeding during swallowing or due to other mechanical stress. Additionally, advanced tumors may metastasize, affecting surrounding organs and blood supply, further contributing to bleeding complications.
