Therefore, in daily life, we must develop healthy eating habits to avoid the occurrence of diseases. If you have esophageal cancer, you must choose the correct treatment method. Let's take a look at the treatment methods of esophageal cancer:

1. Surgical treatment is used for early stage patients. It uses resection surgery to achieve the goal. It is effective in treating esophageal cancer. It can also be used for late stage patients. However, it can only relieve symptoms and cannot completely eliminate the disease. Therefore, other treatments are needed.

2. Radiotherapy, which uses radiation to completely remove the diseased area. It is suitable for patients with serious conditions. The affected area is irradiated for about 6 or 7 weeks. After the operation, there are often symptoms such as loss of appetite, bleeding, and perforation.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be used regardless of the early or late stages. It can regulate qi and blood, nourish the liver and kidneys, and promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. However, it takes a long time to take effect. It can be used after surgery.
