Treatment
Multimodality therapy should be offered to patients with locally advanced esophageal carcinoma. ( EB , M, B , M )
Note: Although outside the scope of recommendations for locally advanced esophageal cancer, the Expert Panel recommends that for patients with clinical earlier stage esophageal cancer (T2, N0), surgery alone may be considered after discussion with a multidisciplinary team. Within this group, surgery alone may be more appropriate for patients with low risk cT2NO lesions (i.e. well-differentiated, less than 2 cm), and where there is a sufficient degree of confidence in the results of pretreatment staging.
