For patients with esophageal cancer metastases after surgery, the threat to life and health is great, and the next step of treatment is needed, depending on where the metastases are located, and can be targeted.
For metastases that are only localized, surgical treatment can still be performed depending on the actual situation, like in the case of mediastinal lymph node metastases. In general, if esophageal cancer is advanced, surgery is not recommended if metastasis occurs, and it is not curable, but radiotherapy and chemotherapy can prolong the patient’s life according to the condition. The most important thing is the lungs, coughing, coughing up blood, and poor breathing, etc. If bone metastasis occurs at an advanced stage, it will cause pain throughout the body.
Esophageal cancer patients should pay attention to their diet and postoperative care to minimize recurrence.
