Why it matters for esophageal cancer
Esophageal and gastroesophageal junction cancers are serious, complex and relatively rare cancers. You need a multi-specialty expert team that focuses on these challenging cancers every day, because:
- You might avoid major surgery. Roswell Park offers advanced endoscopic procedures that treat early-stage disease and precancers.
- Robotic surgery delivers the best outcomes, but you want surgeon with high-volume experience in the complex operations for these cancers, considered more than 25 esophagectomies a year. Our team performs more than 60 a year.
- Recent treatment advances use precision medicine. Your cancer will be analyzed for specific genetic and biologic differences that mean you can benefit from newer drugs and medical therapies that target these unique characteristics.
- You may qualify for a clinical trial. Clinical trials offer access to the very latest options, new drugs and other approaches, sometimes years before they become available from other providers.
If you request a second opinion from Roswell Park, you will not be under any obligation to receive your care here.
Yes, you have time for a second opinion
We understand the urgency of a cancer diagnosis and your desire to move quickly. However, very few diagnoses require that treatment or surgery occur immediately. The fastest treatment is not always the best treatment, and you owe it to yourself to take time now to ensure your treatment plan is the right one for you. We can help.
