Esophageal cancer stages
Esophageal cancer stages measure disease volume and spread from limited (I) to advanced (IV).
Stage 1
In early esophageal cancer stages, the tumor is confined to the esophageal wall without lymph node involvement.
Stage 2
Cancer invades muscle or lymph nodes; treatment options include conventional medicine and Ayurveda.
Stage 3
It is a condition of a tumor so large that it makes swallowing impossible and moves to the neighboring lymph nodes.
Stage 4
Rarely does a patient survive at this stage, which is highly aggressive and spreads rapidly.
If you experience any signs or symptoms that could be caused by esophageal cancer, you should always see a doctor.
