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.

What causes esophageal cancer?
It is believed that the constant irritation from acid reflux is the cause of esophageal cancer. The process (very simplified) goes something like this: The body tries to protect itself from the constant (or at least very frequent) damage from high acid, so it begins to change the cells in the esophagus to be more like the cells in the stomach, which are less sensitive to that damage. These cells are replaced more often. This condition is called "Barrett's esophagus" Any cells which change and reproduce quicky are susceptible to those changes getting out of control, and that is essentially what cancer is: cell growth in altered cells that begin to grow faster than their "healthy, normal" neighbors. They take up space and interfere with the function of the organs or structures that they are in, and often become life threatening.
