What Causes Squamous Cell Carcinoma?
I have done endoscopy and identified squamous cell carcinoma in bottom of food pipe in esophagus. CT is also done and says it has not spread to any parts and my age is 47 yrs old female. Kindly advise whether surgeries removal is recommended or chemo, radiation and the surgery. Kindly advise as each doctor is giving different answer. Currently having liquid diets as the food gets stuck if taken with out grinding. Make me clear to take up the tretment and how serious is the surgery if it s done.
