Esophageal Cancer

In esophageal cancer, the decision is made by a council. Our multidisciplinary oncology board plans neoadjuvant therapy, minimally invasive/robotic surgery and systemic treatment for you.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

Multidisciplinary Esophageal Tumor Board

Every case is reviewed together in a tumor board with the surgical oncologist, medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, radiologist and pathologist.

Robotic & Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy

Ivor Lewis and McKeown esophagectomy via Da Vinci robotic and minimally invasive approaches; small incisions and faster recovery.

Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy

Pre-surgical concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy (TrueBeam LINAC) are integrated into the tumor board's plan.

Type-Based Treatment

Distinct strategies for squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma; molecular profiling for targeted therapy eligibility.

Endoscopic Resection for Early Lesions

Endoscopic mucosal/submucosal resection is offered as an option for superficial/early tumors.

Swallowing & Nutrition Support

Palliative stenting and structured nutritional support are provided in managing dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).

Insurance & agreements

Transparent payment with contracted institutions and private insurers, at home and abroad.

Accommodation & rooms

Companion-friendly modern patient rooms and in-city accommodation support.

International patient services

Visa, airport transfer and 24/7 multilingual medical interpreters.
