The treatment plan of esophageal cancer should be selected with the primary goal of prolonging survival time and maximizing quality of life, and the treatment measures of surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, biology and Chinese medicine should be used comprehensively. Surgery Surgery is the main method to treat esophageal tumor, and early resection can often achieve curative effect. In late stage patients, especially those with metastasis, immediate surgery is not recommended. Radiation therapy includes external radiation, intracavitary radiation, preoperative radiation and postoperative radiation. Surgery for cervical and upper thoracic esophageal tumors is very traumatic and has high complication rate, while radiation has less damage and better efficacy than surgery, so radiotherapy should be preferred. Radiation source can be 60Co or X ray. 3. Chemotherapy Combined chemotherapy is not only an important treatment measure for middle and late stage esophageal tumor, but also used as adjuvant treatment with surgery and radiotherapy. At present, the effective chemotherapy drugs commonly used in clinical practice include paclitaxel, cisplatin, bleomycin, fluorouracil, adriamycin and so on. Combination regimen chemotherapy and combined application with radiotherapy are used to treat esophageal tumors. 4. Chinese medicine treatment Dongling grass and donglingxin, experimentally proved to have obvious cytotoxic effect on human esophageal squamous carcinoma cells CaEs-17 strain, and inhibitory effect on many kinds of animal transplanted tumors. Clinical application has also proved to have some efficacy. There are also some traditional Chinese medicines that have certain effects on esophageal tumors. It is better to find a Chinese medicine doctor to treat the tumor with evidence, to support the root of the tumor, and to disperse the stasis. For advanced esophageal cancer with obstructive symptoms of eating, esophageal stenting treatment should be carried out in time to improve the patient’s diet and nutrition supply, because many patients do not die due to tumor itself, but they cannot take in enough food and starve to death due to long-term malnutrition.
