The Oesophageal Patients Association

Former patients helping new patients

Oesophageal cancers are on the increase in the western world. We are working with the medical profession for earlier diagnosis, better treatments and improved outcomes. By registering with our Association, you will automatically become a member and will receive regular newsletters with up to date information and helpful features. You will also receive news of local patient support meetings. There is no cost to you to do this.

The OPA has supported oesophageal and gastric cancer patients for over 21 years; during that time we have spoken to some 26,000 patients and carers. We are recognised as a knowledgeable and responsible body, widely respected by the medical profession. If you are prepared to tell us even more about yourself, this information will enable us to influence the medical profession in areas of research; analysing and improving the effects of treatments more accurately and effectively.
