Specialized Diagnosis and Advanced Treatment for Esophageal Cancer
Esophageal cancer affects the food pipe (esophagus) that connects the throat to the stomach. It often develops silently and is usually detected at an advanced stage. At Satyamev Multispeciality Hospital, our experienced oncologists and GI surgeons offer comprehensive treatment options including endoscopy, advanced imaging, minimally invasive surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation—all under one roof.
🧬 What is Esophageal Cancer?
Esophageal cancer begins in the inner lining of the esophagus. There are two main types:
Squamous Cell Carcinoma – Typically occurs in the upper or middle part of the esophagus
Adenocarcinoma – Common in the lower part, often linked to acid reflux or Barrett’s esophagus
This cancer is more common in people over 50 and those with long-term habits like smoking, drinking, or acid reflux.

Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
Pain or burning sensation in the chest
Unexplained weight loss
Hoarseness or persistent cough
Regurgitation of food
