Many tumors are benign, but if you have a tumor that is cancerous, the doctor will need to do more tests to see if it has spread away from the esophagus. These are the areas where esophageal cancer commonly spreads. Laryngoscopy or bronchoscopy. Esophagus cancer limited to the esophagus is usually treated with surgery. Such early cancers, though rarely seen since esophageal cancers grow quickly, have good prognosis.
Treatment often includes a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
