Esophageal cancer, as a condition in the digestive system, can cause a lot of pain and impact to the patient. The earlier it is detected, the more likely it is to be successfully cured and at the same time reduce the pain of the patient. What is esophageal cancer Esophageal cancer, also known as esophageal cancer, is a common tumor of the digestive tract. China is one of the regions in the world where esophageal cancer is highly prevalent. And the number of men is more than women. It mostly occurs after 40 years old. Early symptoms of esophageal cancer are not obvious, but there are different degrees of discomfort when swallowing coarse and hard food, including difficulty in swallowing food, and at the later stage, it will slowly appear that it is impossible to spit out semi-liquid food, and finally water and saliva cannot be swallowed. Patients will gradually lose weight, become dehydrated and weak. When there is persistent chest pain or back pain, it means that the patient has entered the advanced stage and the cancer cells have invaded the tissues outside the esophagus. Whether esophageal cancer can be cured If esophageal cancer is diagnosed in early stage and treatment is started in time, the possibility of cure is high. We can see the probability of cure according to different treatment methods. 1.Surgical treatment Early stage localized esophageal cancer can be cured by surgical treatment, but for patients with middle or late stage and metastasis, it is impossible to achieve the curative effect. For stage I esophageal cancer patients, the survival rate within 5 years of surgical resection is 80%-90% or higher. However, the 5-year survival rate for patients with advanced stage is less than 15%. Surgical resection may be accompanied by severe pulmonary complications and a high morbidity and mortality rate. Surgery is not recommended for patients with poor health in the middle and late stages of cancer. 2.Radiotherapy Radiotherapy is an important tool for adjuvant treatment before and after surgery, or when surgery is not suitable. Radiation is used to reduce the size of tumor before surgery and destroy the residual cancer cells after surgery, which is very helpful to the effect of surgery. Radiation therapy is a major alternative to surgery when surgery is not appropriate. However, radiotherapy is also more harmful to other organs. Now there are some new techniques, especially for reducing the damage to the heart, to enhance the effect of radiotherapy more effectively and reduce the side effects. Chemotherapy can control the size and scope of esophageal cancer lesions to a certain extent, so as to fight for the chance of surgery later, and reduce the recurrence and metastasis after surgery, which can improve the chance of survival. Although chemotherapy also has certain toxic side effects, the negative effects can be significantly relieved by the treatment of Chinese medicine. 4.Chinese medicine treatment Chinese medicine has always been an important treatment method for cancer, which avoids the side effects and physical trauma brought by surgery or western medicine. It is important to achieve limitation by improving one’s resistance supplemented by fighting against cancer. It is an excellent way. It can also be used together with western medical treatment means. 5.New treatment methods The new generation of iodine 125 particle implantation, the third generation of conformal radiofrequency ablation introduction technology, DSA visual artery interventional perfusion embolization, HIFU high energy ultrasonic focus knife as the core of the four technologies of a variety of disciplines, a variety of advanced methods of integrated use of treatment means, with no surgery, no radiotherapy, no pain, the efficacy of the exact characteristics, etc., can effectively kill tumor cells, effectively contain It can effectively kill tumor cells, effectively curb the spread and metastasis of tumor cells, and at the same time repair and enhance the immunity and anti-cancer power of patients. Esophageal cancer is very scary, but as long as it is detected early and treated early, it is possible to be cured. Therefore, we should take more precautions and treat the disease in time so as to minimize the power of the disease.
