Treatment of esophageal cancer with brain metastasis

summary

After my cousin suffered from esophageal cancer, he was unable to eat. Now he has intubated, and every day he lies in bed for infusion. He is in advanced stage of esophageal cancer, and there are signs of brain metastasis. Let me tell you something about esophageal cancer!

Treatment of esophageal cancer with brain metastasis

Method 1: there are many methods for the treatment of esophageal cancer, and the effect of surgery is better. Surgery is the first choice for the treatment of esophageal cancer. The resection rate of lower segment cancer is 90%, middle segment cancer is 50%, and the average resection rate of upper segment cancer is 56.3% - 92.9%.

Method 2: radiotherapy for esophageal cancer includes radical and palliative. The surgical treatment of cervical and upper thoracic esophageal cancer is more traumatic and has a high incidence, while radiotherapy is less invasive and more effective than surgery. All patients were in good condition, able to enter semi liquid diet or smoothly into liquid diet, thoracic esophageal cancer without supraclavicular lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis, no tracheal invasion, no esophageal perforation and bleeding signs.

Method 3: chemotherapy is also an effective method. The cell proliferation cycle of esophageal cancer is about 7 days, which is slightly longer than that of normal esophageal epithelial cells. Theoretically, the doubling time is about 10 days, so the number of proliferative cells is less than that of non proliferative cells. Therefore, although there are many chemical drugs used in this disease at present, there are few effective ones.

matters needing attention

Esophageal cancer patients must pay attention to, once found the condition, immediately go to the hospital for treatment, the longer the delay, cancer cells will spread, for the patient's body is very bad, should be found early, early treatment, early surgical treatment, in order to be able to control the disease.
