Apollo Hospital Bilaspur successfully performed a complex esophagectomy on an esophageal cancer patient, marking a milestone for cancer care in Chhattisgarh. Led by Dr. Amol Padegaonkar, the surgery removed a 5cm cancerous esophagus section and two positive lymph nodes after chemo-radiation, then reconstructed a food passage using the patient's stomach. Esophagectomy is a demanding oncologic procedure; doctors stress early diagnosis, as symptoms like swallowing difficulty require prompt specialist consultation. The success brings world-class treatment access to Central India.
