Doctors in Esophageal Cancer
Esophageal Cancer
Esophageal cancer is a serious and life-threatening condition that affects the esophagus, a flexible tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. It is a common malignancy that can arise from the squamous epithelial cells that line the esophagus. The most common symptoms of esophageal cancer include difficulty swallowing, coughing, and chest pain. The disease can progress quietly through to advanced stages, and it is often diagnosed through a routine endoscopy. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment, as the survival rate for esophageal cancer is significantly higher when caught in its early stages. Treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
