Patient's question:
Yesterday I went to a university class reunion and met a former university classmate who is 30 years old this year. We talked about his illness. He has esophageal cancer, and it's advanced esophageal cancer. What should we do? Can this disease be gradually cured?Doctor's answer:
Esophageal cancer is one of the more common malignant tumors of the digestive system. Currently, cancer treatment in China is primarily based on a comprehensive evaluation treatment plan that combines early surgery with chemotherapy. According to your description of your classmate's condition, your classmate is 30 years old and should be in the early stage. It is recommended to undergo surgical treatment promptly. If your classmate's physical condition can tolerate chemotherapy, it can be combined with chemotherapy for better results. With current medical techniques, cancer cannot be cured.
