Overview

The predominant therapy for esophageal cancer is surgical. Chemotherapy is used to treat advanced esophageal cancer. Chemotherapy can be used alone as monotherapy or in combination with radiotherapy or surgery. Chemotherapy may be used as adjuvant therapy to shrink a tumor before being surgically resected or as neoadjuvant therapy after surgery to kill any cancerous cells that may have been left, and finally, in advanced tumors to shrink them or to relieve symptoms.


Medical Therapy

Medical therapy for advanced esophageal cancer includes chemotherapy such as:[1]
