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.
ESOPHAGEAL CANCER
TREATMENT OF
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.
