What to do if there is lymph node metastasis in advanced esophageal cancer without surgery

When patients with advanced esophageal cancer have lymph node metastasis, they can usually be treated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, etc. If the condition is more serious, palliative surgery is needed to improve it.

1. Drug treatment

1. Chemotherapy: Esophageal cancer is a malignant tumor disease. During the onset period, patients will experience symptoms such as difficulty swallowing and pain behind the sternum. At this time, you can take paclitaxel injection, cisplatin injection and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor, which can inhibit cell growth and spread, thereby controlling the development of the disease.

2. Radiotherapy: You can also go to a regular hospital in time and receive auxiliary treatment through radiotherapy, which can use high-energy rays to inactivate the lesions and thus alleviate the disease.

2. Surgical treatment

If the patient's condition is serious and has metastasized to distant organs, the above methods cannot achieve a radical cure. It is recommended that the patient actively cooperate with the doctor to remove the lesion through palliative surgery, and at the same time cooperate with targeted drug therapy to prolong survival time.

In daily life, we should maintain a good attitude and avoid frequent anger or excessive anxiety. We should also pay attention to our daily diet and try to eat light food, such as millet porridge, egg soup, etc., but it is not recommended to eat spicy food, such as chili peppers, hot and sour noodles, etc. In addition, we should go to the hospital for regular checkups and pay attention to the recovery of our body at any time.
