Treatment
This section of the website provides what we hope is practical and helpful information about how oesophageal cancer, stomach cancer, and related benign (non-cancerous) upper GI conditions are treated and broadly what to expect in terms of possible pathways, stages of treatment and recovery, as well as longer-term considerations of potential concern for patients (and by implication, their carers).
​
Whilst we believe our guidance is helpful, it should not be considered clinically definitive advice. Specialist clinicians based at the Churchill Hospital or your local hospital should always be consulted if you have specific needs or concerns.
Our experiences and suggestions are summarised in the following sections:
