Suggest Treatment For Cancer Of Food Pipe

Good morning Doctor, I live in Melbourne, Australia. I have a query for my uncle who has Cancer of the food pipe and is very serious. He is being treated by Dr Rai in Chennai and is in his hospital. I am afraid from what I hear that he is not getting the required attention. I am thinking of moving him to the Adyar Cancer institute. I am concerned that my uncle is suffering far too much. Can you please suggest what I do in this situation. Thank you for your time Doctor.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your uncle has esophageal cancer. Treatment of esophageal cancer depends on type of cancer, stage of cancer and spread of cancer. In early stage surgery can be done to remove that part. In later stage chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the treatment options. Please send me his all reports so that i can help you further Or consult your oncologist and plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
