Does invasive moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus head to loss?


Answers:    Elizabeth - Not necessarily so. If no treatment is given, the answer would be yes, but if the cancer has only local invasion, not involving any distant body locations, cure is possible. Surgery to remove the cancer can be used alone or in combination beside other treatments. Operations used to treat esophageal cancer include surgery to remove very small tumors. If the cancer is very small, confined to the superficial layers of your esophagus and hasn't spread, the surgeon may recommend removing the cancer and outside edge of healthy tissue that surrounds it. Surgery for very early-stage cancers can be done using an endoscope passed down the throat and into the esophagus to access the cancer. Chemotherapy drugs are typically used back or after surgery in people with esophageal cancer. Chemotherapy can also be combined near radiation therapy. In people with advanced cancer that have spread beyond the esophagus, chemotherapy may be used alone to help relieve signs and symptoms caused by the cancer.
Radiation therapy is most habitually combined with chemotherapy in people near esophageal cancer. It can be used before or after surgery. Clinical trials are research studies testing the newest cancer treatments and modern ways of using existing cancer treatments. Source(s): a medical professional
