Abstract
Today, curative treatment of esophageal cancer can be achieved by surgery. Dysphagia doesn’t seen until tumor diameter reaches at least 50% of esophagus diameter so curative treatment with esophagectomy can’t be provided in most patients. Spreading to remote areas is usually seen when the disease diagnosed. In patients that curative treatment is not possible, palliative tratment methods are used to control tumor associated symptoms and systemic symptoms. Palliative treatment choice of malignant dysphagia in esophageal cancer patients varies according to disease stage, tumor location, general condition of patient, physician’s experience. Palliative treatment of esophagus cancer can be grouped under four main headings. These are lumen reconstruction, surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
