What is the effect of esophageal cancer surgery? Is there a high probability of surgical cure of esophageal cancer?

Surgery is the first choice for the treatment of early esophageal cancer. Patients with esophageal cancer should be treated surgically as soon as their physical conditions permit. According to the condition, it can be divided into palliative operation and radical operation. Palliative surgery is mainly used for patients with advanced stage or incurable after radiotherapy. In order to solve the difficulty of eating, esophagogastrostomy, gastrostomy and esophageal intubation were used. Radical surgery depends on the lesion site and the specific situation of the patient. In principle, most of the esophagus should be removed, and the scope of esophageal resection should be at least 5cm away from the tumor. The resection rate of lower cancer was 90%, middle cancer was 50%, and the average resection rate of upper cancer was 56.3% ~ 92.9%.

Surgery is the main treatment for esophageal cancer, and some patients will have some complications of surgery. It can be treated with ginsenoside Rh2, which can reduce postoperative complications and accelerate the recovery of the body, and has certain anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. At present, there are literatures supporting that ginsenoside Rh2 can inhibit the proliferation of esophageal cancer cells, block them in G0/G 1 phase and induce their differentiation. Ginsenoside Rh2 is one of the better products.

At present, radiotherapy is the first choice for cervical cancer and upper esophageal cancer, radiotherapy or surgery for middle esophageal cancer and surgery for lower esophageal cancer. Because the upper cervical esophageal cancer surgery is difficult and risky, especially for some elderly patients, the curative effect of middle esophageal cancer surgery and radiotherapy is not much different, and the overall prognosis is not much different, while the resection rate of lower esophageal cancer is high, so surgical treatment is advocated.
