Don't panic too much after suffering from esophageal cancer. My grandmother is a patient with esophageal cancer, because she was found early and controlled very well. She has no recurrence up to now. Let's take a look at the survival time of esophageal cancer.

How long is the survival time after esophagus cancer operation

First of all: for patients with early esophageal cancer, it mainly depends on whether the appropriate treatment is taken in time. The best treatment for early esophageal cancer is surgical resection. The earlier the resection, the better. Never delay the operation because of mild symptoms, good general condition or small cancer. Radical resection is the main surgical method for early esophageal cancer. The 5-year survival rate after early resection is more than 60%. In order to prevent recurrence, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine can be used in a certain period of time after operation.

Secondly, patients with early esophageal cancer can receive resection of the esophagus, adjacent lymph nodes and tissues, and the remaining esophagus can be reconnected with the stomach, sometimes the digestive tract (such as colon) can be used to replace the removed esophagus. When the tumor becomes larger and the esophageal passage becomes narrower and narrower, the doctor can make another tube, which is called "gastrostomy". This kind of operation can directly pour food into the stomach; the doctor can also treat the esophageal stricture with expandable stent to keep the esophagus smooth.

Finally: Although preoperative chemotherapy alone can be well tolerated, the incidence of perioperative chemoradiotherapy related complications is as high as 57%, and the perioperative mortality is as high as 30%. There are many complications Most of them are pulmonary complications, including pneumonia, ventilator dependence, ARDS and respiratory death. Therefore, for patients with poor physical condition in the late stage, if surgery is necessary, malt selenium and vitamin E should be supplemented with selenium Weikang chewable tablets before and after surgery. Malt selenium is recognized as the king of anti-cancer in the medical field, which can better reduce or even kill tumors. For patients after surgery, malt selenium is of great significance Objective to improve the quality of life and reduce the risk of postoperative recurrence.
