Does esophageal tumor require surgery to cure?

Because people often eat too hot food, do not pay attention to controlling esophageal diseases, and damage the esophagus during long-term swallowing of food, it can cause esophageal cancer. The treatment of esophageal cancer requires gastroscopy and cutting in the esophagus to achieve the treatment effect. However, it should be noted that the treatment of esophageal cancer does not necessarily require surgery at present. It can also be treated with electrochemotherapy, radiotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine and surgical therapy. Surgery is more appropriate for more serious conditions.

Treatment of esophageal tumors:

1. Surgery

Surgical treatment is the most common method for treating esophageal cancer, and it is mainly effective in the early stages. However, for patients with esophageal cancer in the middle and late stages, the effect of surgical treatment is not so good. Experts remind that surgical treatment will cause certain trauma to patients with esophageal cancer. Therefore, in order not to affect the patient's eating habits in the future, this method is not particularly suitable.

2. Electrochemical treatment

Electrochemical interventional treatment of esophageal cancer involves introducing a very soft electrode into the tumor tissue from the patient's mouth, causing chemical changes in the tumor and surrounding tissues. This directly kills tumor cells and causes the tumor to shrink rapidly. The esophagus then becomes unobstructed, and the patient no longer has difficulty eating. The treatment process is painless and non-traumatic, and can be tolerated even by patients with frail constitutions and comorbidities, while the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy are completely avoided. It is currently the most ideal method for treating esophageal cancer.

3. Radiation therapy

Radiotherapy is not suitable for every patient, and many cancer patients cannot undergo radiotherapy for various reasons. However, radiation therapy also plays an important role in eliminating tumors. It is generally used before and after surgery.

4. Traditional Chinese Medicine

With the development of traditional Chinese medicine, it has also played a very important role in treatment. However, the effect of TCM treatment for malignant tumors is not so obvious. However, since TCM is safe and has no side effects, it is usually used as an auxiliary treatment for cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine treats esophageal cancer from a holistic perspective and implements dialectical treatment. It not only takes local treatment into consideration, but also adopts the method of strengthening the body and restoring the foundation. It plays an important role in improving the patient's local symptoms and systemic condition. At the same time, it can also reduce or even eliminate the side effects and adverse reactions for patients who choose surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Although the effects of traditional Chinese medicine are slower than those of Western medicine, it has better long-term effects.

What are the latest treatments for esophageal tumors? I believe that everyone has a certain understanding through the above introduction. Among the methods of treating esophageal cancer, after years of clinical practice, the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and radiotherapy, which is a combination of Chinese and Western medicine, has the most significant effect. After double precise positioning by a high-precision positioning device, a simulation positioning machine and a physical therapy device, radiotherapy can quickly and directly inhibit tumor growth and reduce the possibility of recurrence and metastasis. Then taking special molecular targeted Chinese medicine will combine substances with affinity to tumor cells with drugs. After the patient takes the medicine, the drug is selectively transported to the cancer target area, avoiding drug waste and greatly improving the efficacy.
