The best treatment for esophageal cancer

There are many ways to treat esophageal cancer, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, particle stent therapy, electrochemical intervention, and traditional Chinese medicine. Each treatment method has its advantages and disadvantages. So what is the best way to treat esophageal cancer?

Esophageal cancer treatment without side effects is the first choice. This is recommended by esophageal cancer treatment experts.

Why is no side effects the best treatment?

Because esophageal cancer is a malignant tumor, when it develops to a certain stage, it will affect the patient's eating and thus affect the patient's immunity. If the patient is unable to eat, resulting in a decrease in the patient's immunity, and then accepts treatment with huge side effects, then various complications will emerge, and the patient will face the risk of immune collapse. If the patient's immunity fails, then the patient's life will end immediately. Therefore, a treatment without side effects is very important for patients with esophageal cancer.

So, which treatments are free of side effects?

When it comes to treatment without side effects, traditional Chinese medicine and some combined Chinese and Western medicine treatments should be the first choice.

Friends who are familiar with Chinese medicine know that Chinese medicine treatment is to take some strange pills, medicinal soup or apply some medicinal residues externally. Therefore, Chinese medicine will not cause much physical damage to patients when treating any disease. However, Western medicine is not as gentle as Chinese medicine in treating diseases. Friends who like to use Western medicine to treat diseases know that Western medicine is effective in treating diseases quickly, especially for minor illnesses such as colds. At the same time, Western medicine also has a very fast effect on the disappearance of symptoms of some diseases. However, a common disadvantage of Western medicine in treating diseases is that these diseases are very easy to relapse after Western medicine treatment. Moreover, some Western medicine treatment methods such as surgery and chemotherapy are very likely to cause serious effects on the health of patients. Therefore, in clinical treatment. Surgery and other treatment methods that are seriously harmful to the patient's body are only used when the patient's condition is very serious, otherwise it will affect the patient's chance of recovery.

In the clinical treatment of esophageal cancer, the guiding principles of traditional Chinese medicine treatment remain unchanged, but the medication and the amount of medication used vary depending on the patient's symptoms.

In clinical treatment, there are many methods of combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine to treat esophageal cancer. Patients can choose the treatment method that best suits them according to their own conditions.

Well, besides traditional Chinese medicine and both Chinese and Western medicine, which have no side effects in treating esophageal cancer, are there any other treatments for esophageal cancer without side effects?

The particle stent is a memory metal stent containing radioactive iodine 125 particles. The particles are radioactive iodine 125 that can kill tumor cells. They are placed in a metal titanium shell and sealed to form a short stick with a thickness of only 0.2 cm and a length of less than half a cm. They can quickly kill tumor cells and cut off the path of tumor cell spread.

Compared with other esophageal cancer treatments, this treatment has fewer side effects. However, since this technology uses radioactive substances, while the radiation kills cancer cells, it also causes damage to some tissues around the adjacent tissues. Therefore, caution should be exercised when applying particle stent technology.

To sum up, in addition to traditional Chinese medicine and the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, particle stent technology is also a good way to treat esophageal cancer.
