The typical symptom of esophageal cancer is difficulty in swallowing. After stenting, the esophagus can be dilated so that food can go down smoothly. If you still have difficulty in swallowing after stenting, it is possible that the stent is not properly placed or the esophagus is blocked again after further development of cancer.
Comprehensive treatment, including surgery, radiotherapy chemotherapy, and nutritional support, needs to be considered depending on the specific stage, physical condition, and specific location of the tumor. Usually, if radical surgery is possible after surgical evaluation of early-stage esophageal cancer, then surgery is preferred; if distant metastases are already present and the comprehensive evaluation is tolerant to chemotherapy, local chemotherapy can be administered or simultaneous radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be administered.
The diet must be light and should not include spicy, oily and irritating foods, nor smoking and drinking alcohol.
