Symptoms, Diagnosis & Advanced Treatment Options by Dr. Nishant Kurian at PSRI Hospital, Saket
Esophageal cancer, also known as oesophageal cancer or food pipe cancer, develops in the lining of the esophagus, the hollow muscular tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach. It is one of the more serious gastrointestinal cancers and often requires timely diagnosis and specialized surgical treatment for the best outcomes.
Dr. Nishant Kurian, Consultant in the Department of Surgical Gastroenterology at PSRI Hospital, Saket, Delhi, offers patients comprehensive and evidence-based care for esophageal cancer using advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgical techniques.
Esophageal cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the food pipe. The disease may develop anywhere along the esophagus and can gradually interfere with swallowing and digestion. It might be surprising to know that Esophageal Cancer is one of the most common causes behind death by cancer globally.
The symptoms of esophageal cancer may appear gradually and worsen over time. Common warning signs include:
Difficulty swallowing and progressive weight loss are among the most common symptoms seen in patients with oesophageal cancer.
The two most common types include:
Esophageal cancer is more common in men and is often diagnosed in later stages as early symptoms may be subtle.
Several lifestyle and medical conditions that cause long term chronic irritation to the mucous lining of esophagus can increase the risk of developing esophageal cancer, including:
Early and accurate diagnosis plays a critical role in planning effective treatment.
Treatment depends on the stage of cancer, tumor location, and the patient’s overall health. A multidisciplinary approach often provides the best outcomes.
Surgery remains one of the most effective treatment options for localized esophageal cancer. The procedure commonly performed is called an esophagectomy, where the cancerous part of the esophagus is removed and the digestive tract is reconstructed using another part of the gastrointestinal tract, mostly the stomach.
As an experienced esophagectomy specialist and GI cancer surgeon for esophagus, Dr. Nishant Kurian focuses on Advanced Minimally Invasive approaches that support faster recovery and reduced surgical trauma.
Laparoscopic esophagectomy is a minimally invasive procedure performed using small incisions and specialized instruments. This procedure leads to faster recovery and reduced pain in comparison with conventional open surgery.
Patients looking for an advanced laparoscopic esophageal surgeon in India or a minimally invasive esophagectomy expert may benefit from Dr. Nishant Kurian’s expertise in modern minimally invasive esophageal cancer surgery.
Robot-assisted esophageal cancer surgery offers enhanced precision, improved visualization, and greater surgical control during complex procedures.
As an experienced robotic esophageal surgeon in Delhi, Dr. Kurian uses advanced robotic techniques for carefully selected patients requiring this surgery.
Robotic surgery has become an important advancement in modern gastrointestinal cancer care for suitable patients.
For advanced or locally spread cancers, chemotherapy and radiation therapy may be used:
Some patients may require multimodal treatment involving surgery, medical oncology, and radiation oncology together.
Persistent difficulty in swallowing , unexplained weight loss, or long-standing acid reflux should never be ignored. Early diagnosis significantly improves treatment outcomes in esophageal cancer.
Consulting an experienced esophageal cancer specialist at the right time can help patients access advanced treatment options with better long-term results.
