What is Oesophagus Cancer?

Oesophageal cancer or Esophageal cancer is malignancy of the esophagus. There are various subtypes of Oesophageal cancer, primarily adenocarcinoma (approx. 50-80% of all Oesophageal cancer) and squamous cell cancer. Squamous cell cancer arises from the cells that line the upper part of the esophagus. Adenocarcinoma arises from glandular cells that are present at the junction of the esophagus and stomach. Esophageal tumors usually lead to dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), pain and other symptoms, and are diagnosed with biopsy. Small and localized tumors are treated surgically with curative intent. Larger tumors tend not to be operable and hence are treated with palliative care; their growth can still be delayed with chemotherapy, radiotherapy or a combination of the two. In some cases chemo- and radiotherapy can render these larger tumors operable. Prognosis depends on the extent of the disease and other medical problems, but is fairly poor.

What are the types of Oesophageal cancer?

There are two main types of Oesophageal cancer. Both types are diagnosed, treated, and managed in similar ways. The two most common types of Oesophageal cancer are named for how the cancer cells look under a microscope. Both types begin in cells in the inner lining of the esophagus:

Adenocarcinoma of the esophagus: This type is usually found in the lower part of the esophagus, near the stomach.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus: This type is usually found in the upper part of the esophagus.

What are the symptoms of Oesophagus cancer?

Early Oesophageal cancer may not cause symptoms. As the cancer grows, the most common symptoms are:

Food gets stuck in the esophagus, and food may come back up

Pain when swallowing

Pain in the chest or back

Weight loss

Heartburn

A hoarse voice or cough that doesn't go away within 2 weeks

These symptoms may be caused by Oesophageal cancer or other health problems. If you have any of these symptoms, you should tell your doctor so that problems can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible.

How is Oesophageal cancer diagnosed?

If you have a symptom that suggests Oesophageal cancer, your doctor must find out whether it's really due to cancer or to some other cause. The doctor gives you a physical exam and asks about your personal and family health history. You may have blood tests. You also may have:

Barium swallow: After you drink a barium solution, you have x-rays taken of your esophagus and stomach. The barium solution makes your esophagus show up more clearly on the x-rays. This test is also called an upper GI series.

Endoscopy: The doctor uses a thin, lighted tube (endoscope) to look down your esophagus. The doctor first numbs your throat with an anesthetic spray, and you may also receive medicine to help you relax. The tube is passed through your mouth or nose to the esophagus. The doctor may also call this procedure upper endoscopy, EGD, or esophagoscopy.

Biopsy: Usually, cancer begins in the inner layer of the esophagus. The doctor uses an endoscope to remove tissue from the esophagus. A pathologist checks the tissue under a microscope for cancer cells. A biopsy is the only sure way to know if cancer cells are present.

What are the stages of Oesophageal cancer?

Stage 0: Abnormal cells are found only in the inner layer of the esophagus. It's called carcinoma in situ.

Stage I: The Oesophageal cancer has grown through the inner layer to the submucosa.

Stage II is one of the following:

The cancer has grown through the inner layer to the submucosa, and cancer cells have spread to lymph nodes.

Or, the cancer has invaded the muscle layer. Oesophageal cancer cells may be found in lymph nodes.

Or, the cancer has grown through the outer layer of the esophagus.

Stage III is one of the following:

The Oesophageal cancer has grown through the outer layer, and cancer cells have spread to lymph nodes.

Or, the cancer has invaded nearby structures, such as the airways. Cancer cells may have spread to lymph nodes.

Stage IV: Oesophageal cancer cells have spread to distant organs, such as the liver.

What is the treatment for Oesophageal cancer?

People with Oesophageal cancer have several treatment options. The options are surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these treatments. For example, radiation therapy and chemotherapy may be given before or after surgery.

The treatment that's right for you depends mainly on the following:

Where the cancer is located within the esophagus

Whether the cancer has invaded nearby structures

Whether the cancer has spread to lymph nodes or other organs

Your symptoms

Your general health

Oesophageal cancer is hard to control with current treatments. For that reason, many doctors encourage people with this disease to consider taking part in a clinical trial, a research study of new treatment methods. Clinical trials are an important option for people with all stages of Oesophageal cancer. See the Taking Part in Cancer Research section.

You may have a team of specialists to help plan your treatment. Your doctor may refer you to specialists, or you may ask for a referral. You may want to see a gastroenterologist, a doctor who specializes in treating problems of the digestive organs. Other specialists who treat Oesophageal cancer include thoracic (chest) surgeons, thoracic surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists. Your health care team may also include an oncology nurse and a registered dietitian. If your airways are affected by the cancer, you may have a respiratory therapist as part of your team. If you have trouble swallowing, you may see a speech pathologist. Your health care team can describe your treatment choices, the expected results of each, and the possible side effects. Because cancer therapy often damages healthy cells and tissues, side effects are common. Before Oesophageal cancer treatment starts, ask your health care team about possible side effects and how treatment may change your normal activities. You and your health care team can work together to develop a treatment plan that meets your needs.
