Esophageal Cancer

Treatment in Arizona

All diagnosis and treatment options described in these pages are available at Mayo Clinic in Arizona.

Treatment Team

This disease is treated by specialists in Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery, Hematology/Oncology, Gastroenterology and Hepatology and Radiation Oncology.

This team of physicians has developed diagnostic and treatment algorithms to serve as a guide for uniform evaluation of and treatment recommendations for patients with esophagus cancer. Treatment recommendations are usually based on the site of the tumor within the esophagus, the extent of disease (diagnostic imaging and esophageaul ultrasonography) and the patient's medical condition (whether surgery can safely be performed). The algorithms are modified, as indicated, to develop an individualized treatment plan for each patient.
