  1. @drdodulmondal TREATMENT OF ESOPHAGEAL CANCER Surgery: An esophagectomy is the most common treatment for early- stage esophageal cancer. It involves removing some or most of your esophagus and surrounding tissue. Radiation therapy: Radiation kills or damages cancer cells by aiming a radiation beam at the tumor. Healthcare providers may use radiation as adjuvant therapy before or after surgery. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR): Surgeons use this procedure to remove tumors in the mucous lining of your esophagus. Photodynamic therapy (PDT): Photodynamic therapy destroys tumors with drugs called photosensitizers. Light activates these drugs and creates a chemical reaction that kills cancer. Targeted therapy: Some esophageal cancer cells carry an unusually high amount of the HER2 protein. This protein helps cancer cells grow. +91-8860-102-093 WWW.ONCOLOGISTDRDODULMONDAL.COM
