Esophageal Cancer

Treatment in Minnesota

Mayo Clinic has one of the most comprehensive esophageal cancer programs in the world. Each patient meets with an integrated team of specialists, including gastroenterologists, radiologists, medical and radiation oncologists and cardiothoracic surgeons, ensuring the most effective and complete care possible. Services include medical diagnosis using advanced techniques not widely available elsewhere and the latest endoscopic therapies for early stage esophageal cancer.

For patients with more advanced disease, Mayo Clinic offers a range of therapeutic options, including chemotherapy, radiation and surgery to remove the esophagus. Mayo Clinic is one of the world's largest and most experienced medical centers for esophageal surgery, performing more than 150 esophagectomies every year.

Mayo also offers compassionate palliative care for patients whose symptoms no longer respond to treatment. Clinic researchers are dedicated to finding better treatments for esophageal cancer and ways to prevent the disease. In addition, clinicians actively conduct clinical trials of new therapeutic options and assess different combinations of therapies already proven effective against esophageal cancer.
