[|AI|]  Hello, Salute to the spirit of fighting the battle of life. Where there is a will there is a way, you must be having the best outcomes. Treatment of malignant tumor of esophagus definitely involves surgery (if operable) with follow-up chemo and/or radiotherapy for the same. It does not involve voice box removal in the majority of cases. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
