What is the 5-year survival rate of early esophageal cancer

summary

I always want to lose weight, so I often go hungry to lose weight. In the long run, my stomach is a little unbearable. Recently, I always feel stomachache, and eating will be very uncomfortable. Later, I went to the hospital for examination and found out it was early esophageal cancer. Today, let me learn about the five-year survival rate of early esophageal cancer.

What is the 5-year survival rate of early esophageal cancer

First, the treatment effect of early and mid-term esophageal cancer is good, the 5-year survival rate can reach 40% - 50%, the key is to choose the correct treatment method. There is no distant metastasis in the early stage of esophageal cancer, and the effect after radical operation is certainly better. However, even if the middle and advanced stage of esophageal cancer is treated surgically, the probability of postoperative recurrence is very high, and often relapses quickly.

Second, for patients with early and middle stage esophageal cancer, the minimally invasive method of total endoscopy or thoracoscopy and laparoscopy combined with small neck incision was used to carry out "resection of esophageal cancer and mediastinal lymph node dissection". Because of the small trauma, the patient recovered quickly and could be discharged about one week after the operation.

Third: as a kind of malignant tumor, the therapeutic effect of esophageal cancer is conceivable, which certainly makes many patients and their families dissatisfied. At present, the five-year survival rate of early esophageal cancer is about 40%, while the five-year survival rate of advanced esophageal cancer is relatively poor, only about 10% ~ 20%.

matters needing attention

In addition to active treatment for early esophageal cancer, patients also need to take care of themselves, correct their anti-cancer attitude, know how to cooperate with doctors in their work, what they should pay attention to in their life, and regularly review, so as to prevent recurrence of esophageal cancer and prolong their survival time as much as possible.
