Treatment methods of esophageal cancer
1.Surgical treatment of esophageal cancer treatment
Surgical treatment, i.e. surgical resection method, is applicable to the resection of lower esophageal cancer in early stage, but there are few patients in the middle stage who adopt cut-out method. Surgical resection is mainly used for patients who have failed in radiotherapy. The surgical method should also consider whether the patient is willing to suffer from good physical condition, sound heart and lung function, and no metastasis of esophageal cancer.
2.Esophageal cancer treatment
Chemotherapy method
The main purpose of chemotherapy for esophageal cancer is to change the volume of the current tumor and make the larger tumor shrink a little. Chemotherapy uses chemical
It can also be used before and after adjuvant radiotherapy and surgery.
3.Radiation therapy for esophageal cancer treatment
Radiation therapy for esophageal cancer is mainly used for patients in the middle and late stages of esophageal cancer, who have lost the time to do surgery. Radiation therapy for esophageal cancer can directly kill cancer cells with small damage, which is the latest treatment method to reduce patients’ pain.
4.Multiple treatments for esophageal cancer
Multiple treatment of esophageal cancer means multiple treatment methods are used together, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be used before surgery.
Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be used before surgery, which can improve the overall survival rate of esophageal cancer patients.
5.Chinese medicine
Chinese medicine treatment
According to the doctor’s requirements, the prescriptions are equipped with

Measures for the care of esophageal cancer
Measure 1: Keeping the gastrointestinal decompression tube unobstructed
Usually, a small amount of blood needs to be drained one or two days after the surgery, which should be considered normal, and if a large amount of blood is drained, it should be reported to the doctor immediately. The gastrointestinal decompression tube should be kept in place for about four days to reduce anastomotic tension and to facilitate healing. Pay attention to the accurate connection of the gastric tube, secure fixation, prevention of dislodgement and unobstructed drainage.
Measure 2: Closely observe the flow and nature of chest drainage
If abnormal bleeding, cloudy fluid, food residue or celiac fluid is found in the chest drainage fluid, it indicates active bleeding, esophageal anastomotic fistula or celiac disease in the chest cavity, and corresponding measures should be taken to clarify the diagnosis and deal with it. If there is no abnormality, the drainage tube will be removed about two days after surgery.
Measure 3: Diet control
Since the anastomosis heals slowly due to the lack of plasma membrane layer in the esophagus, the patient should strictly fast and abstain from water after the surgery. On the fifth day after surgery, if there is no special change in the condition, milk can be fed through the mouth, sixty milliliters each time, every two hours, and equal amount of boiled water can be given during the interval, and if there is no adverse reaction, the amount can be increased day by day.
