Every patient with Esophageal cancer is not the same. We provide care that is personalized. Esophageal cancer is a complex disease that occurs when the esophagus, the hollow, muscular tube that connects the throat to the stomach, forms cancer. This type of cancer is rare, comprising only about 1% of all diagnosed cancers. But several factors raise the risk of developing cancer of this type, including the use of alcohol and tobacco, obesity, and chronic acid reflux. Oesophageal cancer’s most common symptom is trouble swallowing, or dysphagia, which occurs when cancer grows and the opening to the esophagus becomes smaller. We treat esophageal tumors with advanced therapies and technologies and our supportive care providers are also available to help you manage the medication side effects so you are better able to maintain your energy, stamina, and quality of life during your treatment.
