3-year survival rate of those who have had esophagectomies at Mayo

Posted by protonbeam @protonbeam, Feb 1, 2023

My wife has cancer of esophagus. For past 3 years IU Med Center has been lasered out cancer; however, Barrett's high-grade dysplasia keeps coming back. Trying to decide whether or not to switch to Mayo. I hate to seem morbid, but does anyone know what the 3-year mortality rate is for Mayo? I have heard a lot of good about Mayo

Highly suggest you come to Mayo Clinic. Mayo is one of the few locations with Proton Radiation treatment and is a top Esophageal cancer treatment facility. Mayo is always worth your time and will give you peace that you worked with the BEST!

Thank you for your encouragement. I have heard about the proton beam therapy and even mentioned it to IU; but they acted like they didn't know about it.
