What is esophageal cancer?
There are two types of esophagus cancer:
Esophageal cancer can occur in different locations, including:
Upper Esophagus: This cancer can start in the top part of the esophagus, close to the throat, sometimes called the cervical esophagus.
Middle Esophagus: It’s also common for esophageal cancer to be in the middle section, which is between the top and bottom parts.
Lower Esophagus: Cancer can also happen in the bottom part of the esophagus, right where it connects to the stomach. This area is known as the gastroesophageal junction.
There are various symptoms of esophageal cancer, including:
⦿ Trouble swallowing or feeling like food is stuck in your throat
⦿ Losing weight without trying
⦿ Chest pain, discomfort, or a burning feeling
⦿ A cough that doesn’t go away
⦿ Hoarseness or a change in your voice
⦿ Heartburn or acid reflux that gets worse
⦿ Feeling tired or weak
There are three major treatments for food-pipe cancer include:
Surgery: One common way to treat esophageal cancer is by taking out the cancerous part through surgery. Sometimes this means removing part of the esophagus, or in serious cases, taking out the whole esophagus. It is performed after the chemo/radiation.
Radiation Therapy: This treatment uses strong X-rays or other kinds of radiation to kill cancer cells or make tumors smaller. It can be done before surgery to reduce the tumor size, after surgery to get rid of any left-behind cancer cells, or as the main treatment sometimes.
Chemotherapy: This involves using special drugs to fight cancer cells. Chemotherapy can work on its own or together with surgery or radiation therapy to tackle the cancer from multiple angles.

The Revolution of Robotic Surgery in Esophageal Cancer Treatment
Frequently Asked Questions
Esophageal cancer is managed by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, including surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists.
Treatment modalities for esophageal cancer encompass a range of options such as surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and palliative care. Selection among these approaches is determined by factors including the cancer’s stage and the patient’s individual health profile.
Esophageal cancer can be potentially curable, particularly if diagnosed in its early stages. The likelihood of a cure is contingent upon factors such as the cancer’s stage, location, and the overall health status of the patient.
Tobacco and Alcohol Use: Both increase the risk of esophageal cancer significantly.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Chronic acid reflux can lead to Barrett’s esophagus, a precursor to cancer.
Diet and Obesity: Poor diet, obesity, and lack of physical activity are known risk factors.
The final stage of esophageal cancer, known as stage 4 or advanced/metastatic cancer, indicates the spread of cancer cells to distant organs or lymph nodes. Palliative care is primarily focused on symptom management and enhancing the patient’s quality of life.
