Can esophageal cancer be cured?

Nowadays, many cancer diseases, such as lung cancer, liver cancer, esophageal cancer, etc., often have mild symptoms in the early stages and are easily ignored by patients. By the time they are discovered and diagnosed, they are basically in the middle and late stages. For example, esophageal cancer. Many patients want to know whether esophageal cancer can be cured. We will explain this question in detail.

1. Early treatment

The best treatment period for esophageal cancer is in the early stages. If esophageal cancer is found in the early stages, it is relatively easy to treat and the hope of cure is great.

2. Mid-term treatment

Although the early stage is the best treatment period, many patients are often in the middle and late stages when they are discovered. Cancer cells have already begun to spread in the middle and late stages of the patient, and the effect of surgical treatment is not very ideal. Most of them are palliative surgeries with local resection, and the survival time is not very long. The best treatment for middle and late stage esophageal cancer is radiotherapy and chemotherapy combined with tumor biological therapy, which is mainly to relieve the patient's pain and enable the patient to survive the tumor for a long time.

3. Late-stage treatment

It is difficult to control the spread of advanced esophageal cancer cells. Surgical resection has certain risks. Chinese medicine is generally used for treatment, and the success rate is higher. When choosing Chinese medicine treatment, you should understand the nature of the tumor and choose the appropriate medicine according to your own situation.

Can esophageal cancer be cured? Through the above introduction, we can clearly know that early esophageal cancer can be cured, but in the middle and late stages of esophageal cancer, the cancer cells have spread and it is impossible to completely cure it. Therefore, patients with middle and late stages of esophageal cancer should not be concerned about whether the disease can be cured, but how to reduce pain, provide relevant care, and improve the quality of life.
