Esophageal Cancer<br />

Most of the esophageal tumor is adenocarcinoma of<br />

squamous cell carcinoma. Esophageal cancer that is<br />

generally indicated with swallowing difficulty is diagnosed<br />

with endoscopy. Most effective treatment method is<br />

surgical intervention in esophageal cancers. Procedure<br />

called esophagectomy aims complete removal of the<br />

tumor in order to prevent its re-increment and spread.<br />

Esophagectomy (complete removal of esophagus) is<br />

performed by using open surgical methods or minimal<br />

invasive methods (laparoscopic-robotic). Stomach is<br />

used to form a new tube or new esophagus is form by<br />

using patient’s large intestine. Most proper treatment<br />

method is known as surgery in esophageal cancers; and<br />

multidisciplinary approach increases change of success<br />

at Liv Hospital Cancer Center that provides service with<br />

individualized treatment methods and advanced technology<br />

Stomach Cancer<br />

Stomach is a digestive organ where foods are digested and<br />

that is located between esophagus and small intestine.<br />

Stomach cancer emerges from inner surface of the<br />

stomach and can spread through lymph nodes. Endoscopy<br />

is performed to the patients with swallowing difficulty,<br />

anemia, weight loss, abdominal pain complaints and biopsy<br />

is taken from the mass localized inside of stomach. Vascular<br />

structures must be preserved carefully during the surgery,<br />

and lymph nodes must be removed broadly. Disease-free<br />

survival time significantly increases with quality of the<br />

surgery. For this reason, stomach cancer surgery requires<br />

high surgical experience and talent. Most proper treatment<br />

method is known as surgery in stomach cancer cancers;<br />

and multidisciplinary approach increases change of success<br />

at Liv Hospital Cancer Center that provides service with<br />

advanced technology.
