Suggest Treatment For Food Pipe Cancer
Hi,
My mother suffers from cancer in lower part of food pipe.She is 76 yrs. She doesn't suffer from any other disease. She takes a pill for high blood pressure. The stage of the cancer is third or fourth. Her intake of food and water is not possible. She is been fed with the feeding tube after five days of palliative external radiation. Also, there is a little doubt about the tumor touching the part of liver and heart. I would like to know if there is any way she can be healed. Kindly reply soon.

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. If your cancer is not metastatic then surgical resection and anastomosis followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy is the treatment of choice. If metastatic cancer is there then surgery will not give benefits. Then only palliative radiotherapy and chemotherapy is needed.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
