Esophageal cancer, also known as esophageal carcinoma, refers to the development of cancerous cells in the esophagus, the muscular tube that connects the throat to the stomach.
Symptoms of esophageal cancer may include difficulty or pain when swallowing, weight loss, chest pain or discomfort, chronic cough, hoarseness, indigestion, heartburn, regurgitation, and vomiting blood.
Treatment options for esophageal cancer depend on the stage of cancer, location, type, and individual factors. Treatment may involve surgery to remove the tumor and part or all of the esophagus, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or a combination of these approaches. The treatment plan is determined by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals.
