Esophageal Cancer Therapy

Esophageal cancer therapy aims to treat cancer in the esophagus, the tube connecting the throat to the stomach. Treatment options may include surgery to remove tumors, radiation therapy to kill cancer cells, and chemotherapy, which uses drugs to stop cancer from growing. These approaches can be used alone or in combination, depending on the cancer's stage and the patient's health. Targeted therapies and immunotherapy are newer options that focus on specific cancer characteristics or help the body's immune system fight the disease. Early detection and personalized treatment plans are crucial for better outcomes.
