Non-surgical treatments for esophageal cancer offer effective alternatives to traditional surgery, focusing on targeting cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. This article explores several non-surgical treatments available for esophageal cancer. Radiation Therapy Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells. This treatment can be used as a primary treatment or in combination

Cryosurgical Ablation (CSA) is an advanced non-surgical treatment for esophageal cancer that uses extreme cold to destroy cancerous tissues. This innovative approach offers a targeted and minimally invasive option for patients, making it an attractive alternative to traditional surgical methods. What is Cryosurgical Ablation? CSA, also known as cryotherapy, involves using extreme cold to freeze

Brachytherapy, also known as internal radiation therapy, is an advanced treatment option for esophageal cancer that involves placing radioactive material directly inside or near the tumor. This article explores the latest developments in brachytherapy for esophageal cancer, highlighting its benefits, procedures, and effectiveness. What is Brachytherapy? Brachytherapy is a form of radiation therapy that delivers

Short Introduction Seed implantation with iodine-125 or palladium-103 seeds (brachytherapy) is a highly effective treatment for patients with cancer. Brachytherapy requires no surgical incision, offers patients a shorter recovery time, and has less chance of troubling side effects. For example, for prostate cancer, brachytherapy is an outpatient procedure and most patients go home the same

Short Introduction ——————————————————————————–  Thermal injury to cells begins at 42 ℃ Only 8 minutes at 46 ℃ is needed to kill malignant cells, and 51 ℃ can be lethal after only 2 minutes. At temperatures above 60  ℃ intracellular proteins are denatured (killed) rapidly, cell membranes are destroyed through dissolution and the melting of lipid

Short Introduction   Photodynamic therapy (PDT) combines a drug (called a photosensitizer or photosensitizing agent) with a specific type of light to kill cancer cells.  Advantages    • Relatively selective and specific for tumorous cells • Effective in treating many kinds of tumors. • The cure rate is high as 90% for some early cancer (esophageal and lung cancer).

At Fuda Cancer Hospital-Guangzhou, we take a holistic approach to treating cancer. Cancer therapy goes much further than just chemotherapy, radiation, and conventional surgery. Along with our award-winning history of successfully using  cryosurgery to remove solid tumors, Fuda uses immunotherapy as a key treatment to greatly enhance the immune system—especially after harsh chemotherapy—to slow the
