5-year survival rate of esophageal cancer after operation

summary

My father-in-law has always preferred pickled food. He thinks that kind of food is more fragrant, and he also likes to eat food just out of the pot. He says that it's so hot that it tastes delicious. But he can't eat any more these days. He always feels it's hard to swallow. Now his condition has been controlled to a certain extent. For the 5-year survival rate after esophageal cancer surgery, let me tell you .

5-year survival rate of esophageal cancer after operation

First, according to the early, middle and late stage of esophageal cancer, the prognosis is different. Early esophageal cancer refers to the beginning of the tumor, just appeared in the mucosa of cancer cells. At this time, the lesion site is very small, relatively limited, and the operation effect is very good. In the middle stage of esophageal cancer, the tumor cells begin to spread in the esophageal wall. At this time, the treatment is relatively troublesome. It is necessary to expand the scope of surgery, and the whole esophagus may need to be removed. Advanced esophageal cancer has gone beyond the scope of the esophageal wall and metastasized to other parts. It is difficult to operate in advanced stage and the prognosis is poor.

Second: the overall prognosis of esophageal cancer patients is squamous cell carcinoma is better than adenocarcinoma; narrowing type, mushroom umbrella type is better than ulcer type, medullary type. The 5-year survival rate of early esophageal cancer without metastasis and invasion was 60%. The 5-year survival rate of early esophageal cancer with metastasis or middle esophageal cancer was less than 25%, and the average 5-year survival rate was 18.1% - 40.8%. However, the prognosis of esophageal cancer was poor, and the 5-year survival rate was less than 5%.

Third: for patients with esophageal cancer, after confirmed as esophageal cancer, they are more sensitive to the question of how long they can live with advanced esophageal cancer. Whether esophageal cancer can be cured or not, how long can you live, is related to many factors. Therefore, for advanced esophageal cancer can live long, but also according to the development of the patient's condition to judge. The survival rate is also acceptable.

matters needing attention

There is no specific answer to the survival rate of esophageal cancer, which is related to the actual situation of patients. We should judge according to the development of patients' condition, but we can be sure that the earlier treatment, the better the control of the disease, and the survival rate of advanced patients is relatively low, so patients must start treatment as soon as possible, control the disease and improve the survival period.
