Generally, if you have tuberculosis and esophageal cancer, it is possible to treat them together at the same time.
If the patient suffers from acute tuberculosis, intravenous chemotherapy or local radiotherapy for esophageal cancer can be given along with anti-tuberculosis treatment. If the patient is suffering from old tuberculosis, the esophageal cancer can be treated first, and then the old tuberculosis can be treated.
In addition, malignant tumors will directly threaten patients’ life, but tuberculosis is a disease that can be controlled at present, so firstly, we should treat the disease that is most likely to endanger patients’ life, and the treatment of esophageal cancer should firstly choose chemotherapy.
