Esophageal Cancer Care
Your Fight is Our Focus
At St. Luke’s, we offer comprehensive care for esophageal cancer, delivered by a team of skilled and compassionate professionals who focus their energy on you. From easing symptoms and side effects to supporting your physical, mental, and emotional strength, we’re here to help you through every stage of your journey.
Your treatment may include chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery—or a combination tailored to your needs. If surgery is part of your care plan, you can trust that you’re in expert hands. Our surgeons specialize in esophagectomy and perform more esophageal surgeries than anyone else in Idaho, with outcomes that exceed national averages—bringing world-class expertise close to home.
If initial tests show something concerning, our thoracic nurse navigator will guide you and your primary care provider through the next steps, ensuring accurate diagnosis and timely care. And if you’re diagnosed with esophageal cancer, your nurse navigator will continue to support you and your family throughout treatment, connecting you with the resources and care you need.
If you have questions about esophageal cancer diagnosis and treatment, please call our thoracic nurse navigator at (208) 381-6194.
