How much is the cost of esophageal cancer surgery?

The cost of esophageal cancer surgery is not fixed;

The reason is that esophageal cancer surgery is related to the patient's situation, medical institutions and equipment used. As far as China is concerned, the cost of surgery will be different in different regions because of the different reimbursement rates of medical insurance policies.

In addition to geographical problems, different surgical schemes and surgeons will use different sutures, instruments and hemostatic materials, so the cost of surgery will be different. For example, an absorbable suture costs at least 100 yuan. If a straight-line cutting suture device is used, the cost of surgery will be higher, which may cost tens of thousands of yuan.

Extended data:

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%. 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 surgical resection rate of lower esophageal cancer is high, so surgical treatment is advocated.
