What Is Esophageal Cancer?

Esophageal cancer develops in the lining of the esophagus (food pipe). The two most common types are:

• Squamous Cell Carcinoma – Usually affects the upper and middle esophagus

• Adenocarcinoma – Commonly affects the lower esophagus and gastro‑esophageal junction

Common Symptoms

• Difficulty or pain while swallowing (dysphagia)

• Food getting stuck in the chest

• Unexplained weight loss

• Chest pain or burning sensation

• Chronic cough or hoarseness

• Vomiting or blood in vomit

• Fatigue or anemia

Early evaluation of persistent symptoms is crucial.

Causes & Risk Factors

• Tobacco use and alcohol consumption

• Chronic acid reflux (GERD)

• Barrett’s esophagus

• Obesity

• Poor nutrition

• Increasing age

Diagnosis & Staging of Esophageal Cancer

Accurate staging guides the treatment plan. Evaluation includes:

• Upper GI endoscopy with biopsy

• Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)

• CT scan / PET‑CT for staging

• Bronchoscopy (in selected cases)

• Nutritional and fitness assessment

Esophageal Cancer Treatment Options

Treatment depends on cancer stage, tumor location, and patient health. A multidisciplinary tumor board designs an individualized plan.

🧬 Chemotherapy & Radiotherapy

• Neoadjuvant chemoradiation to shrink tumors before surgery

• Definitive chemoradiation for non‑surgical candidates

• Improves resectability and long‑term survival

🗡️ Surgery for Esophageal Cancer

Surgery offers the best chance for cure in selected patients.

• Esophagectomy – Removal of the cancer‑affected esophagus

• Reconstruction to restore swallowing

• Minimally invasive / laparoscopic or robotic esophagectomy where appropriate

Advanced surgical techniques help reduce complications and speed recovery.

🎯 Targeted Therapy & Immunotherapy

• Used in selected advanced or metastatic cases

• Based on tumor biology and biomarkers

• May be combined with chemotherapy for better outcomes

🌈 Supportive & Palliative Care

• Stent placement for symptom relief (when needed)

• Pain management and emotional support
