A multidisciplinary process for integrated diagnosis, treatment, and palliative care is available for esophageal tumors.

Diagnosis and staging involve the most advanced endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound techniques.

Early-stage esophageal tumors can be operated on with minimally-invasive esophagectomy.

In the case of an inoperable esophageal cancer, palliative procedures such as placement of esophageal stent, enterostomy, and gastroenterostomy can be performed.
