summary

Generally speaking, esophageal cancer is a serious disease in clinic. Therefore, after getting esophageal cancer, patients should be treated as soon as possible. Next, this paper introduces the common treatment methods of esophageal cancer.

What does the treatment method of esophagus cancer have

Treatment 1: surgical treatment. Surgery is the first choice for the treatment of esophageal cancer. If the general condition is good, the cardiopulmonary function reserve is good, and there is no obvious sign of distant metastasis, surgical treatment can be considered. In general, cervical cancer length < 3cm, upper thoracic cancer length < 4cm, lower thoracic cancer length < 5cm are more likely to be resected. However, some tumors are not too large but can not be resected because of their close adhesion to the main organs such as aorta and trachea. For larger squamous cell carcinoma, the possibility of resection is not estimated, but the patient's general condition is good, preoperative radiotherapy can be used first, and surgery can be performed after the tumor size is reduced.

Treatment two: radiotherapy. Combined radiotherapy and surgery can increase the resection rate and long-term survival rate. After preoperative radiotherapy, it is more appropriate to rest for 3-4 weeks before operation. The residual cancer tissue that is not completely removed during the operation should be marked with metal, and the postoperative radiotherapy should be started 3-6 weeks after the operation.

Treatment 3: chemotherapy. The combination of chemotherapy and surgery, radiotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine is very effective for improving the curative effect. Moreover, to a certain extent, it can alleviate the condition of patients with esophageal cancer and prolong the survival period. But we should check the blood picture and liver and kidney function regularly, and pay attention to the drug reaction.

matters needing attention

Esophageal cancer patients should not only actively understand the treatment of the disease, but also avoid some cold food in their diet.
