New progress in esophageal cancer treatment in Thai Nguyen

Mr. LVC, 62 years old, in Luong Son ward (Thai Nguyen), was diagnosed with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and had endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) performed at Thai Nguyen Central Hospital to completely remove cancer cells and preserve esophageal function, bringing health and many practical benefits.

Mr. C received endoscopic ESD intervention at Thai Nguyen Central Hospital to treat esophageal cancer.

This is a new step forward in the treatment of esophageal cancer at the Hospital.

Mr. C had a history of alcohol and tobacco abuse for many years. The results of a previous esophagoscopy with staining and biopsy determined that the lesion was located in the middle of the esophagus, about 3x1cm in size, with clear edges and no ulcers.

With the support and technical transfer of leading experts in the field of ESD from K Hospital, along with a system of modern machinery and equipment, a team of highly qualified, skilled, and well-trained doctors from Thai Nguyen Central Hospital, the esophageal lesions of patient C were completely removed.

Doctor Nguyen Hoang Ha, Department of Endoscopy (Thai Nguyen Central Hospital), who directly performed the intervention, said: During the procedure, the patient had no accidents or complications. The biopsy results showed high-grade glandular dysplasia - a precancerous lesion (a sign of early-stage esophageal cancer). After 3 days of intervention, Mr. C's health was stable, he ate and lived normally, and continued to be monitored and cared for at the Oncology Center of Thai Nguyen Central Hospital.

The successful implementation of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) to treat early esophageal cancer is an important step forward in the development of specialized techniques at Thai Nguyen Central Hospital.

This technique not only brings great benefits to patients, avoiding a serious esophageal resection surgery, but also affirms high professional capacity and proactive integration of modern techniques at a unique specialized medical facility in the midland and mountainous region of the North.

Currently, Thai Nguyen Central Hospital has mastered ESD techniques in the treatment of early gastric cancer. In the coming time, it will continue to implement many ESD interventions at other difficult locations in the digestive tract, contributing to improving the quality of early cancer treatment locally.
