Esophageal Cancer: About this Condition
Prevention of Esophageal Cancer
People who have conditions such as GERD or Barrett’s Esophagus should be monitored closely. Precancerous tissues should be treated to prevent a progression to cancer. This treatment can invove endoscopic therapy such as radio-frequency ablation or endoscopic mucosal resection. Treatment of precancerous tissue can even sometimes require surgical resection with esophagetomy, though this radical a surgical treatment is generally only needed when endoscopic therapies are not an option or have failed.
