Therefore, the treatment of esophageal cancer is very important for us. Let's take a look at the surgical treatment of esophageal cancer introduced by experts.

Surgical treatments for esophageal cancer can be divided into the following three categories:

1. Radical resection: The lesion is relatively localized, and the tumor and its draining lymph nodes can be removed to achieve complete resection of esophageal cancer.

2. Palliative resection: When esophageal cancer is in the late stage and is closely attached to surrounding organs or has extensive lymph node metastasis, although the tumor can be removed, the surrounding infiltrated and metastatic lymph nodes cannot be completely removed. This is a commonly used treatment method for esophageal cancer.

3. Reduction surgery: If the cancer cannot be removed, esophagogastric diversion, esophago-jejunum (or colon)-gastrostomy, esophageal cavity catheterization or memory alloy stenting are performed for the purpose of feeding. After the operation, the patient can eat orally. This treatment of esophageal cancer can generally last for half a year to a year. For patients with worse general conditions, gastric or jejunal fistula surgery can be considered, but it will only extend the patient's life for a very small period of time.
