The previous pathology showed stage III. I've been through chemo and radiation for a year. If there are no other metastatic lesions, seed implantation is the best approach. There is hope for a "cure". It may need to add targeted therapy and immunotherapy. Because it's a simple recurrent tumor in situ. The tumor is not very big. So the possibility of a "cure" is still very high.

Our nanoknife treatment is primarily used for pancreatic cancer or cancer that has metastasized to the pancreas. Then the other two treatments, like cryotherapy and seed implantation, also depend on where the metastases are. If it's in a cavity organ, like a bowel, a bladder, those cavity organs. These two treatments are not suitable due to the possibility of causing perforation, so these areas are not suitable for treatment. However, metastases of other organs are usually practicable. For multiple sites of metastasis, we need to combine with some other treatments. It is not enough to do these few minimally invasive treatments alone. We may need to add interventional therapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy. A combination of therapies can lead to a better outcome for killing tumors.

According to your friend's situation, we suggest that cryotherapy can be tried to make the tumor shrink or necrotic by alternating hot and cold, after which further evaluation can be made to choose the follow-up treatment plan.

According to your father's situation, you can try seed Implantation. This is a localized treatment by placing particles inside the tumor that can continuously emit rays and cause little harm to the surrounding normal tissues.

There are many treatments for esophageal cancer, but it’s necessary to confirm whether there are problems such as metastasis. At present, interventional therapy or seed implantation will be more suitable, less painful, and safer.
