Nutrition for Patients with Esophageal Cancer

Post-Esophagectomy Diet

Provides tips to coping with common side effects after esophagectomy, what foods to avoid and what is often well tolerated.

Esophageal Blockage

An esophageal blockage is when there is a narrowing of your esophagus, which can be caused by esophageal cancer. This article details what it is and how it can be treated.
