Patients grouped according to the age, gender and diagnoses and assessed. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : Ninety-seven patients were female (31.7%), 209 patients were male (68.3%). Age range was 16-97 years (mean age 47.9 years). The rates of upper GI were 18.0% (55 cases) esophageal cancer (nearly all patients had adenocarcinoma, squamous type was very rare), 2.3% (7 cases) gastric adenocarcinoma, 44.1% (135) endoscopic gastritis, 10.1% (31cases) peptic esophagitis, 4.3% (13 cases) duodenal ulcer, 4.3% (13 cases) bulbitis, 3.0% (9 cases) hiatal hernia, and 1.3% (4 cases) candidial esophagitis. 24 patients (7.8%) had normal endoscopic appearance.

We think that the high rate of esophagus cancers due to the use of "khat" named an anxiolytic plant, too hot rice eating, poor nutrition from fresh vegetables and fruits, and the meals cooked in coal fire.
