The type of treatment that your doctor prescribes for esophageal cancer is heavily dependent on the level of your cancer. If you are diagnosed when the cancer is still small and has not spread, then the surgeon may recommend removing the small tumors in the throat and a small margin of healthy tissue that is around it to prevent further spread. This can be done via an endoscopy that passes into the esophagus and is the best-case scenario when treating esophageal cancer.
