How to treat esophageal tumors?

Nowadays, people don't pay attention to their diet, which can easily cause various injuries to the esophagus. It can cause esophagitis, or esophageal tumors and other esophageal diseases. Among them, esophageal tumors are divided into benign tumors and malignant tumors. Benign tumors are mainly esophageal leiomyoma, and malignant tumors are mainly esophageal cancer. Let's take a look at what to do if you have a tumor in the esophagus.

1. Benign esophageal tumor

Benign esophageal tumors are mainly esophageal leiomyoma, and the symptoms are not obvious. If the tumor is relatively small, you only need to observe it at any time, and there is no need to rush for treatment. If the tumor is large, it is generally treated surgically by esophageal leiomyoma removal. If the tumor is particularly large and surrounds the esophagus, part of the esophagus needs to be removed. In addition, an esophagogastric anastomosis surgery is required so that the patient can eat normally.

2. Esophageal malignant tumor

Esophageal malignant tumors are mainly esophageal cancer. The early treatment of esophageal cancer is more effective and the hope of cure is relatively high. However, since its early symptoms are not obvious, most patients are already in the late stage when they are discovered. The treatment of late esophageal cancer is mainly a comprehensive treatment based on surgery. Surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other methods can be used. Immunotherapy can also be performed. During the treatment, you can also use traditional Chinese medicine to regulate your body.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone already knows what to do if there is a tumor in the esophagus. The esophageal tumor mainly includes the two situations described above. However, the incidence of benign tumors is extremely low, and most esophageal tumors are malignant tumors, so everyone must help prevent them. Once you feel discomfort in the esophagus, you should go to the hospital for examination immediately to avoid delaying the condition.
