Esophageal Cancer Treatment

Treatment for esophageal cancer depends on the type, location and stage of the cancer, as well as age, overall health and personal preferences. However, esophageal surgery remains among the most challenging areas of thoracic surgery. Successful surgical outcomes require expert diagnosis, experienced judgment and technical perfection. Complex procedures like the esophagectomy are best performed by thoracic surgeons with significant experience in such involved procedures. The Lacks Cancer Center’s team of surgeons is proficient in such progressive treatments. In addition to surgical treatment, various combinations of chemotherapy and radiation therapy may also be prescribed.
