Can esophageal cancer metastasis to the brain be treated with surgery?

Esophageal cancer can metastasize to the brain. If the patient is in good health, surgery can be performed according to the location of the tumor in the brain. If surgery cannot completely remove the tumor, radiotherapy or chemotherapy can be used after surgery. If the patient is in very poor physical condition and is dying, surgery is not easy. Systemic chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted drug therapy, biological therapy, etc. are required to control the continued growth, development and spread of the tumor in order to alleviate symptoms and prolong life. Brain metastasis of esophageal cancer is often a manifestation of late-stage malignant tumors.

Is it common for a brain tumor to cause seizures?

In severe cases, unconsciousness, foaming at the mouth, eyes rolling up, incontinence, etc. may occur. The compression of brain tumors on brain tissue can cause local drainage obstruction of brain tissue, leading to cerebral edema, and brain tumors, especially malignant tumors, can release toxins such as tumor necrosis factor, which can stimulate brain tissue. Symptoms of brain tumors can also include convulsions.
