Discussion on cervical esophageal cancer treated at our department

Abstract

At present, there are not many medical institutions with otorhinolaryngology departments in which cervical esophageal cancer can be treated. In addition, there have been many cases in which such disease had already progressed when confirmed at a medical institution. Therefore, it is often very difficult to select appropriate treatments for such cases. Herein, we report five cases in which we provided treatment for cervical esophageal cancer. We also discuss the treatment, progression of the disease, selection of treatment methods, and approaches taken by our department. The diseases of the five cases were cervical esophageal cancer, and surgical treatment was performed in all cases.
