Hello welcome to Chat Doctor Sorry for hearing this. You didn't mention the stage of esophageal cancer. In the early stages only surgery, or chemotherapy and radiotherapy are beneficial. But in advanced stages only palliative treatment is available. This is directed to have better life and to relieve symptoms.it does not remove cancer from the body. Consult any gastroenterologist and discuss the palliative treatment available. Hope you understoodThank you Chat Doctor.
