General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about your father having problem of cancer of the esophagus that got operated and stomach tube made to join the gap. Upper GI Endoscopy showing traversing dysplasia and stricture at the junction of stomach and the food is going on in a wrong way into the wind pipe.
This means that there is a broncho-esophageal fistula, and the changes are suggestive of a possibility of cancer still present as positive for dysplasia.
Needs the following management.
Go back to the Oncosurgeon for clinical evaluation, endoscopy and biopsy, and further management of radiotherapy, chemotherapy under the Specialists' supervision.
