Treatment of Benign Esophageal Tumor: Resection Approach

Benign esophageal tumors require individualized management. The pathway to intervention and the selection of technique depend on careful case evaluation, with treatment decisions reached collaboratively by a specialist team.

Treatment Approach
Management is centred on resection, determined through a multidisciplinary meeting. Both interventional-endoscopic and surgical options are available — and for many tumor subtypes, a minimally invasive or robotic-assisted approach is the preferred technique. The specific selection criteria, procedural sequence, and full management algorithm are detailed in the complete protocol.

  • The decision to resect should be made in a multidisciplinary meeting.
  • Treatment options include interventional-endoscopic and surgical procedures up to esophagectomy.
  • However, enucleation via a minimally invasive or robotic-assisted approach remains the standard of care for most SET sub-entities.
