Radiotherapy is also a common treatment for esophageal cancer. It can be divided into radical radiotherapy and palliative radiotherapy. It can be selected according to the severity of esophageal cancer. The radiation dose and time are: usually 60Gy~70Gy/6~7 weeks. But it is often accompanied by complications such as bleeding, perforation, and radiation myelopathy. Chemotherapy for esophageal cancer is generally used in the middle and late stages of esophageal cancer, and the drugs are mainly DDP and 5-FU.

The TCM treatment of esophageal cancer is suitable for any period and can be carried out together with other treatments for esophageal cancer. TCM believes that the root cause of esophageal cancer is weak yang qi and decreased body function.
