The tube connecting the throat and stomach is commonly called as our esophagus. The unchecked spread of cancerous cells in our esophagus is referred to as esophageal cancer. Esophageal cancer starts in the innermost layer of our esophagus and can progress to additional esophageal segments as well as other body areas. Esophageal cancer comes in two different varieties:
Adenocarcinoma: This cancer begins in the lower glandular tissue present towards the stomach. In this lower portion of our esophagus, the esophagus and stomach can be seen together.
Squamous cell carcinoma: The squamous cells serving as the lining of the esophagus are where this kind of esophageal cancer develops. The upper and middle portions of our esophagus are where this cancer usually develops.
The doctor will do a physical examination in addition to asking about medical and family history. Upper endoscopy, a biopsy, and a barium x-ray test are a few of the examinations.
Barium x-rays: It can be difficult to see the esophageal wall clearly in the X-ray. Doctors can see well by covering the esophageal wall with barium.
Upper endoscopy: This procedure allows you to view any esophageal abnormalities.
Biopsy: To check for cancer cells, esophageal cells are examined under a microscope.
There are numerous cancer treatments available.
Surgery: There are two different types of procedures used to treat esophageal cancer. The afflicted area of the esophagus, the tumor, and lymph nodes are all removed using the first technique. The stomach or small intestine tissue is used by the doctor to attach the tube. The second operation involves the removal of the top of the stomach, a portion of the esophagus, and adjacent lymph nodes.
Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy uses chemicals to kill cancer cells.
Photodynamic Therapy: This treatment kills cancer cells by combining low-powered lasers with a medication that is light-sensitive.
Radiotherapy: To eradicate the malignant tissue, high-energy radiation beams are directed to it.
The final cost of esophageal cancer surgery depends on several variables, including the type of anesthesia or sedation used, other procedures carried out concurrently, and the treatment technique employed. Depending on a number of variables, the overall cost of esophageal cancer therapy in India ranges from USD 3000 to USD 4000. In India, esophageal cancer treatment has a 90% success rate. Esophageal cancer treatment cost in India takes three to four days in the hospital and requires that patients stay for over 20 days.
It takes almost 6-8 weeks to recover from the treatment and as for post-op care, all necessary guidelines will be given by the hospital team. Usually, the patient cannot eat anything immediately after the procedure and has to be on drip fluids for a few days. Later when discharged, the patient has to eat smaller portions of food (mostly semi solid or liquid food) with an increased frequency of eating throughout the day.
Any kind of cancer treatment is a complicated one and only an expert team of surgeons and doctors can guarantee a high success rate. Dania Medicare Solutions provide the best in-house team of cancer surgeons and doctors that ensure you are in the best hands.
