Dear Sir,
Reports Enclosed, please suggest

Answered by Dr. Deepak Sundriyal (3 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Hello dear. Treatment will include chemo, radiation and surgery

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the reports. The treatment will include all three modalities. Chemoradiation (both simultaneously) should be done first. After that surgery has to be done. However even after doing all the treatment, the survival rates are not very good in carcinoma of esophagus. Only 20 percent of patient survive for 5 years or more.
Thanks and regards
