- Her father died of oesophageal cancer in 2003.

## Summary

Kim Kardashian has been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia ahead of surgery for irregularities in her oesophagus linked to esophagitis. The news matters to her because her father, Robert Kardashian Sr., died of oesophageal cancer, and she said he had the same hernia.

In a preview of next week’s episode of “The Kardashians”, Kardashian learns of the diagnosis during a doctor’s appointment. Doctors had been checking whether medication had improved her esophagitis and assessing a possible pre-cancerous condition; she later underwent surgery to remove oesophageal irregularities. Her mother, Kris Jenner, described the situation as worrying, recalling that Robert Sr. died eight weeks after his cancer diagnosis.
