Esophageal Cancer Treatment
Esophageal cancer refers to the uncontrolled growth of cancerous cells in the esophagus, the tube that connects the throat to the stomach. This type of cancer begins in the innermost layer of the esophagus and can spread to other parts of the esophagus or even to other areas of the body. There are two main types of esophageal cancer:
-
Adenocarcinoma: This type starts in the glandular tissue of the lower esophagus, near the stomach, where the esophagus and stomach meet. -
Squamous Cell Carcinoma: This type develops in the squamous cells that line the esophagus. It typically affects the upper and middle portions of the esophagus.
How Esophageal Cancer is Diagnosed
To diagnose esophageal cancer, a doctor will conduct a physical examination and review your medical and family history. The following tests are commonly used:
-
Barium X-rays: Barium is used to coat the walls of the esophagus to make it visible in X-rays, allowing doctors to see any abnormalities.
-
Upper Endoscopy: This procedure enables doctors to view the esophagus directly and detect any irregularities.
-
Biopsy: A tissue sample from the esophagus is examined under a microscope to check for cancer cells.
The cost of mouth cancer treatment in India is relatively affordable compared to many other countries. On average, the cost for mouth cancer treatment starts around $3000 USD , and the success rate for treatment is 70-80% . The average hospital stay for treatment is about 15-20 days, with additional recovery time of 14-21 days. The hospital provides post-operative care guidelines to ensure a smooth recovery.
Treatment Options for Esophageal Cancer
The treatment for esophageal cancer depends on its type, stage, and the patient’s overall health. Common treatment options include:
-
Surgery:
-
1. One involves removing the affected portion of the esophagus, the tumor, and nearby lymph nodes. The doctor then uses tissue from the stomach or small intestine to reconstruct the esophagus.
-
2. The second involves removing the top of the stomach, a section of the esophagus, and surrounding lymph nodes.
-
Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy uses powerful chemicals to destroy cancer cells throughout the body.
-
Photodynamic Therapy: This treatment combines low-powered lasers with a light-sensitive drug to kill cancer cells.
-
Radiotherapy: High-energy radiation is directed at the tumor to destroy malignant tissue.
The cost of esophageal cancer treatment depends on various factors, such as the type of anesthesia or sedation used, additional procedures, and the specific treatment method. In India, the cost of esophageal cancer treatment typically ranges from USD 3000 to USD 4000, with a success rate of around 90%. The hospital stay generally lasts 5 to 7 days, while the overall recovery period may extend to over 20 days.
Post-Operative Care
Recovery after esophageal cancer treatment can take about 6 to 8 weeks. Immediately after surgery, patients may not be able to eat solid foods and will need to be on fluids through an IV drip for a few days. After discharge, patients are advised to eat smaller portions of food, mainly semi-solid or liquid, and increase the frequency of meals throughout the day.
Esophageal cancer treatment is complex and requires the expertise of a skilled medical team. At Universelle Medicaid, we have a team of highly trained surgeons and oncologists to provide the best care and ensure a high success rate.
