Esophagus or food pipe is a tubular structure joining throat to the stomach. For some earlier stage cancers, surgery can be used to try to remove the cancer and some of the normal surrounding tissue. In some cases, it might be combined with other treatments, such as chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. If the tumor is in the upper or middle part of the esophagus, most of the esophagus will need to be removed to be sure to get enough tissue above the cancer. The stomach will then be brought up and connected to the esophagus in the neck. No matter which approach is used, esophagectomy is not a simple operation, and it may require a long hospital stay. It is very important to have it done at a center that has a lot of experience treating these cancers and performing these procedures.

If a disease is not spread to another organ then, treatment is chemotherapy and radiotherapy followed by surgery. If cancer has spread to another organ like liver or lung, then cure is not possible. But chemotherapy can improve quality of life.
