The cure rate of esophageal cancer

summary

One of the students in a cram school said that a distant relative of his family had esophageal cancer, and there was very little food to eat. Two days ago, I heard that the distant relative had gone to the hospital for treatment. I don't know the effect. Let's talk about the cure rate of esophageal cancer.

The cure rate of esophageal cancer

First: regarding the treatment of esophageal cancer, whether it can be cured or not needs to be considered according to the specific situation. Such as the time of discovery, whether it is early, whether it has metastasis and so on. Suggestions: the specific treatment methods should be considered according to the specific location, tumor size, metastasis and so on. Generally, surgery is the main treatment, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy are appropriate.

Second: the early and mid-term cure rate of esophageal cancer is relatively large, if it is late cure rate is relatively small. As for the patient's survival period, it depends on the patient's age, physique, emotion, the process of disease development, the process of treatment, the sensitivity to drugs, etc., which can not be generalized. It is suggested that active anti-tumor therapy should be used to improve the cure rate and prolong the effective survival period.

Third, if cancer can be detected and treated early, the cure rate can reach 80%, while the cure rate of middle and late stage is only 10% - 20%, even lower. Early cancer almost no symptoms, or symptoms and common diseases similar, difficult to find. When the symptoms appear, one to the hospital examination, often in the late. Prevention is more important than cure. It is better for citizens over 35 to have a cancer prevention physical examination every year. It is suggested that immunotherapy should be used to relieve symptoms and pain and prolong life.

matters needing attention

In the early stage of cancer, the possibility of timely treatment and rehabilitation is great. But if it is in the middle or late stage, the possibility will gradually decrease. Therefore, once esophageal cancer patients find symptoms, they should go to the hospital immediately to check whether it is esophageal cancer. If so, they should be treated immediately.
