What is Esophageal Cancer?
Esophageal cancer is a disease in
which malignant (cancer) cells
form in the tissues of the esophagus. The
esophagus is a hollow tube that
carries food and liquids from your throat to your
stomach. Early esophageal cancer
usually does not cause symptoms.
However, as the cancer grows, symptoms may
include painful or difficulty in
swallowing, weight loss and
coughing up blood. Risk factors for developing
esophageal cancer include Smoking Heavy
Drinking Damage from acid reflux

Esophageal Cancer Treatment in India
Surgery Surgery is commonlyused to treat
esophageal cancer that has not spread beyond the
esophagus and its surrounding lymph nodes. The
goal of the operation is to remove the cancer
and nearby tissue that may be affected. In an
esophagectomy, the surgeon removes part of the
esophagus, nearby lymph nodes, and possibly part
of the stomach. The remaining part of the
esophagus is then connected to the
stomach.  Chemotherapy  Chemotherapy is the use
of drugs to kill cancer cells, usually by
stopping the cancer cells ability to grow and
divide. Systemic chemotherapy is delivered
through the bloodstream to reach cancer cells
throughout the body. Chemotherapy is given by a
medical oncologist, a doctor who specializes in
treating cancer with medication.  Radiotherapy
 The use of high-energy rays to damage cancer
cells, stopping them from growing and dividing.
Like surgery, radiation therapy is a local
treatment that affects cancer cells only in the
treated area. Radiation can come from a machine
(external radiation) or from a small container of
radioactive material implanted directly into or
near a tumor (internal radiation).  Photodynamic
Therapy  A form of treatment that uses a
photosensitizing agent, administered by mouth or
intravenously, which concentrates selectively in
certain cells, followed by exposure of the
involved tissue to a special light (such as laser
or ultraviolet light), in order to destroy as
much of the abnormal tissue as possible. For
example, photodynamic therapy is used to treat
some forms of cancer and psoriasis.

Minimally Invasive Esophageal Cancer Surgery at
Top Cancer Hospitals in India
For some early (small) cancers, the
esophagus can be removed through
several small incisions instead of 1 or 2
large incisions. The surgeon puts a scope
(like a tiny telescope) through one
of the incisions to see everything
during the operation. Then the surgical
instruments go in through other
small incisions. In order to do this type of
procedure well, the surgeon needs to be
highly skilled and have a great deal of
experience removing the esophagus this way.
Because it uses smaller incisions, minimally
invasive esophagectomy may allow the patient to
leave the hospital sooner and recover
faster. Occasionally, the surgeon is unable to
do the procedure laparoscopically and must
convert to open surgery in order to make it safer
for you. In this case, you will have an incision
in the middle of your abdomen and your recovery
will be longer. To help prevent blood clots from
forming in your legs during and after surgery,
sequential compression stockings may be
applied. Benefits of Minimally Invasive
Esophageal Cancer Surgery Less Post-Operative
Pain. Faster recovery and return to
normal activity. Shorter Hospital Stay.
Less Post-Operative Complications. Minimally
Sized Incisions/Scars.
