Where should treat esophagus cancer to go better

Treatment 1: surgical treatment. Surgery is the first choice for the treatment of esophageal cancer. If there are no obvious signs of distant heart and lung metastasis, it 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

The treatment of esophageal cancer is very important. You should pay attention to the appropriate treatment choice in your life. Generally speaking, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be used to control the symptoms in the treatment of advanced esophageal cancer, but there are great toxic and side effects, which need to be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. For patients who can't carry out surgery and can't bear radiotherapy and chemotherapy, they can take Chinese medicine alone to increase the chance of treatment.
