What the petition asks

Esophageal cancer is rare aggressive form of cancer.
People with esophageal cancer may experience the following symptoms or signs. Sometimes people with esophageal cancer do not show any of these symptoms.
having a mandatory camera at the age of 50-55 is ideal
*Difficulty and pain with swallowing, particularly when eating meat, bread, or raw vegetables.
*Even liquid may be painful to swallow.
*Pressure or burning in the chest
*Indigestion or heartburn
*Vomiting
*Frequent choking on food
*Unexplained weight loss
*Coughing or hoarseness
*Pain behind the breastbone or in the throat

We need to make the endoscope camera mandatory for persistent cases, also we need to spread the word so having a national esophageal awareness day would be awesome!
