Can esophageal cancer be cured?
Disease description:
Persistent vomiting; diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Doctor, can esophageal cancer be cured?
Hello, for early-stage esophageal cancer, a gastroscopy is generally required to precisely determine the depth of tumor invasion. If the cancer is confined to the mucosal layer or the muscularis mucosae, it is considered an early-stage lesion and may be treated either by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or surgical resection by thoracic surgery. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
