You don’t have to live with heartburn. Often times, “heartburn” isn’t even from reflux. Testing can help and gastroesophageal reflux disease can be treated effectively with surgery when medical treatment fails.

When PPIs Don't Work for Reflux, Surgery Beats Drugs After rigorous testing excludes other causes of gastroesophageal reflux disease in patients refractory to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), fundoplication surgery can be an answer, new research shows.

Today a patient asked me why all cancers can’t be treated surgically. It’s a great question and a complicated one. Cancer treatment decisions are based on a number of factors. The most important things are the type and stage of the cancer. The overall health of the person matters too. Getting back to type and stage, what works for one type of cancer can be very different from what works for another. Some tumors don’t need surgery, as they can be treated very well without surgery. Whether or not the cancer has spread anywhere beyond the original tumor site is also important. A cancer that has spread to other parts of the body may not be treated well by removing the original tumor. Likewise, a tumor that is only in one place may not need chemotherapy, a treatment that circulates around the body. The most important issue is how much one treatment improves survival over another and the quality of life you can expect.

Patients often ask me: “If I have a surgery, won’t that spread my cancer?” The answer is: Absolutely not! It’s difficult to know how this urban legend got started, but it probably is related to instances where patients had surgery for cancers that were more advanced than anticipated. Accurate staging of a cancer before surgery is critically important to get the best outcome. Know your stage!
