Esophageal cancer can be cured after surgical treatment. For patients with esophageal cancer in early stage of development, the tumor cells in the body have not spread and metastasized, after endoscopic surgical resection or surgical resection, the tumor lesions and tumor cells in the body may be completely eliminated, so as to achieve the effect of clinical cure, but there is still the risk of recurrence and metastasis, and regular review is needed after surgery. However, for those esophageal cancer patients whose tumor cells have spread and metastasized, they are no longer suitable for surgical treatment at this time, and they can adopt radiotherapy, targeted drugs or immune drugs to slow down the progress of the disease, but it is difficult to cure the disease completely. To sum up, it is possible to cure esophageal cancer through surgery, and the earlier the treatment, the higher the chance of cure. Therefore, individuals should pay attention to the prevention and treatment of esophageal cancer, and should consult the doctor in time when suspected symptoms appear.
