Food Pipe Cancer
Food pipe cancer is a type of cancer that affects the esophagus, the tube connecting the throat to the stomach. It is the sixth most common cancer in the world and is more common in men than in women. Symptoms of food pipe cancer include difficulty swallowing, weight loss, and pain in the chest or back. Diagnosis is made through imaging tests, biopsy, and endoscopy.
Common Treatment Methods
Food pipe cancer, also known as esophageal cancer, is a serious condition that requires prompt medical attention. Common treatments for food pipe cancer include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Surgery may involve removing part or all of the esophagus, depending on the severity of the cancer. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy may be used to shrink the cancer or to kill cancer cells that have spread to other parts of the body. Other treatments, such as immunotherapy, may also be recommended to help improve outcomes.
