Cancer that forms in tissues lining the esophagus (the muscular tube through which food passes from the throat to the stomach). Two types of esophageal cancer are squamous cell carcinoma (cancer that begins in flat cells lining the esophagus) and adenocarcinoma (cancer that begins in cells that make and release mucus and other fluids).

Cancer Treatment in India
Cancer that forms in tissues lining the esophagus (the muscular
tube through which food passes from the throat to the stomach). Two
types of esophageal cancer are squamous cell carcinoma (cancer that
begins in flat cells lining the esophagus) and adenocarcinoma
(cancer that begins in cells that make and release mucus and other
fluids). Esophageal cancer has been categorized into two types that
include Adenocarcinoma :This type of esophageal cancer starts in
the glandular tissue in the lower part of the esophagus.Squamous
Cell Carcinoma : Squamous cell carcinoma begins in the squamous
cells lining the
esophagus.2www.medworldindia.comwww.facebook.com/medworld.india

Treatment of Esophageal Cancer at World Best Cancer Hospitals in
India
Radio Therapy : High-energy radiation beams are targeted on the
cancerous tissue in order to destroy it. Internal Radiotherapy :A
small radioactive implant is placed close to the cancerous tumor
for removing and destroying it.External Radiotherapy : This therapy
makes use of machine that is placed outside the body.Surgery :The
surgical procedure for removing the entire or a part of the
esophagus depends on the location and size of the tumor.
Chemotherapy : People with esophageal cancer can also be treated
with the help of chemotherapy. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) :In
this outpatient procedure, controlled bursts of radiofrequency
energy burn away thin layers of abnormal tissue on the surface of
the esophagus, leaving healthy tissue
intact.www.medworldindia.comwww.facebook.com/medworld.india

Diagnosis of Esophageal Cancer
The first step in evaluating esophageal cancer is usually an
endoscopic examination of the esophagus (esophagoscopy). During
this procedure, oncologist guides a thin, lighted tube called an
endoscope down the esophagus and into your stomach. The endoscope
provides a clear view of the esophagus and allows the oncologist to
remove a small sample of tissue (biopsy), which is sent to a
pathologist for further study.

Staging tests :-CT scans :The first step in staging esophageal
cancer is usually a CT scan, a type of X-ray that produces images
of the body in cross sections rather than in the overlapping images
produced by conventional X-rays. Most advanced CT technology, which
is faster, more sensitive and uses less radiation than do older CT
scans. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan :The first step in
staging esophageal cancer is usually a CT scan, a type of X-ray
that produces images of the body in cross sections rather than in
the overlapping images produced by conventional X-rays. Most
advanced CT technology, which is faster, more sensitive and uses
less radiation than do older CT scans. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)
:During endoscopic ultrasound, a tiny ultrasound probe is placed
into the esophagus through an endoscope. The probe produces sound
waves that penetrate deep into tissue, detecting how far a tumor
may have spread into the esophagus wall. EUS can be technically
demanding, and produces the best results when performed by an
experienced endoscopist.

Invasive Robotic Surgery for Esophageal Cancer at Hospitals in
India
Minimally invasive surgery is a set of techniques that use small
incisions to enter the body, limiting the amount of healthy tissue
that is affected during an operation. Minimally invasive approaches
are not effective for all patients with esophageal cancer, but when
appropriate these techniques may offer a variety of benefits,
including :Shorter hospitalizationLess painDecreased complications,
particularly in older patients
