The best way to treat early primary esophageal cancer is surgical resection. The earlier the resection, the better. Do not delay surgery because of mild symptoms, good general condition or small tumor. Depending on the patient's specific situation, the following three types of surgery are usually used to treat primary esophageal cancer:

1. Radical resection of the cancer: This is suitable for when the primary esophageal cancer is relatively localized and can remove the tumor and its lymph nodes. This is a common treatment for primary esophageal cancer.

2. Palliative resection surgery: It is suitable for patients with advanced primary esophageal cancer, which is closely adhered to surrounding organs or has extensive lymph node metastasis. Although the tumor can be removed, the peripheral lymph node metastasis and primary esophageal cancer infiltration of the primary esophageal cancer often cannot be completely eliminated.

3. Surgery to relieve symptoms: It is suitable for patients who cannot remove the tumor and cannot eat. Gastroesophageal diversion, esophageal-jejunal (or colon)-gastric anastomosis, and plastic tube placement in the esophagus can be performed. For the treatment of advanced primary esophageal cancer, the tumor has metastasized at this time, and local surgical treatment is difficult to achieve satisfactory results. Multidisciplinary Chinese and Western medicine combined treatment is required to treat advanced primary esophageal cancer.
