Free tumour board review for every case
Esophageal cancer develops in the food pipe and typically presents with progressive difficulty in swallowing. Squamous cancers relate to tobacco, alcohol, and very hot beverages; adenocarcinomas relate to long-standing reflux.
Diagnosed at another hospital? You’re welcome too, with no commitment to start treatment at CION.
Esophageal cancer develops in the food pipe and typically presents with progressive difficulty in swallowing. Squamous cancers relate to tobacco, alcohol, and very hot beverages; adenocarcinomas relate to long-standing reflux. Treatment combines chemo-radiation and surgery according to location and stage.
Most of these have other causes too. If one lasts, see a doctor.
Having a risk factor doesn’t mean you will get cancer.
Upper GI endoscopy with biopsy confirms the diagnosis. Endoscopic ultrasound, CT, and PET-CT establish depth and spread for treatment planning.
Many of these tests can be arranged by your CION team at CION L.B. Nagar.
Your plan depends on the type and stage of the cancer and on your overall health. CION’s tumour board agrees on it with you.

Through CION’s networkDefinitive chemo-radiation for selected tumours
Through CION’s networkMinimally invasive esophagectomy where appropriate
Through CION’s networkStenting and nutritional support for swallowing relief
Through CION’s networkFeeding-tube support during treatment when needed

Esophageal Cancer treatment: Other CION centres in Hyderabad
CION treats these and other cancers. Not sure about yours? Ask when you call.
No — strictures, achalasia, and reflux can also cause it. But progressive difficulty (solids first, then liquids) needs an endoscopy without delay.
A dietician plans soft/liquid nutrition, and where intake is inadequate a temporary feeding tube keeps you nourished through chemo-radiation and surgery.
Barrett is a reflux-related change in the lower food-pipe lining that slightly raises adenocarcinoma risk. It is monitored with periodic endoscopy.
