Abstract

Esophageal cancer is the eighth most common cancer and the sixth most common cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Surgery has been the mainstay of the treatment of esophageal cancer. However, given the dismal survival with surgery alone, other modalities, e.g., chemotherapy (CT) and radiotherapy (RT), have been used for the management of these cancers. This review aims to look at the evolution of multi-modality management of esophageal cancer and tries to answer certain questions pertaining to the management of these cancers.
