. Some people think that in the advanced stage of esophageal cancer, they want to be sentenced to death and leave in a few months. But cancer experts don't think so, because how long you can live in the late stage of esophageal cancer, 3 months and 5 months, is not an absolute value. Advanced esophageal cancer can still survive for more than 5 years because of the best treatment methods in different periods. How long you can live in the late stage of esophageal cancer is also closely related to the mentality of patients with esophageal cancer. Living actively, healthily and optimistically, patients with esophageal cancer can live longer. Cancer experts say: For patients with early esophageal cancer, how long they can live depends mainly on whether appropriate treatment measures are taken in time. The best treatment for early esophageal cancer is surgical resection. The sooner you remove it, the better. Don't delay the operation. Radical resection of cancer is the main surgical method for early esophageal cancer, and the 5-year survival rate after early resection is over 60%. In other words, most patients with esophageal cancer can survive. Chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine and other treatments can be taken within a certain period after operation to prevent recurrence. For patients with advanced esophageal cancer, how long can esophageal cancer live? Cancer experts say that the treatment of advanced esophageal cancer, at this time the tumor has metastasized, it is difficult to have a satisfactory effect with local surgery. The main treatment methods are drug therapy, that is, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Combined chemotherapy is the main chemotherapy method for advanced esophageal cancer, and its effect is slightly better than that of single drug chemotherapy. Combined with traditional Chinese medicine, it has the effect of synergism and toxicity reduction. For patients with advanced esophageal cancer who have a wide range of metastasis, weak physical function and can no longer tolerate radiotherapy and chemotherapy, only traditional Chinese medicine can be used for conservative treatment. Although the short-term effect is not as obvious as chemotherapy, the long-term effect is good, which can improve the quality of life and prolong the survival period. How long can advanced esophageal cancer live? Cancer experts can't give a clear answer because advanced esophageal cancer involves many factors. Generally speaking, the survival time of advanced esophageal cancer mainly depends on whether the treatment method is appropriate and the patient's physical function. In addition, patients with esophageal cancer and their families should know more about the treatment knowledge of esophageal cancer and communicate with attending doctors, which is helpful to prolong the survival time of patients with esophageal cancer. Colonization in the late stage of esophageal cancer is closely related to the physical function of patients. Cancer experts say that good physical function and strong immunity can resist the development of cancer, tolerate various drug treatments, and get a longer survival time after reasonable treatment. Therefore, it is very important for patients with esophageal cancer, especially patients with advanced esophageal cancer, to improve their immune function and enhance their resistance to tumors. In diet, patients with advanced esophageal cancer should eat as much food as possible that can enter the esophagus, such as semi-liquid food and total liquid food, and pay attention to the quality of semi-liquid food and total liquid food, which are not limited in calories, rich in nutrition, soft and easy to digest and absorb, and can make homogeneous meals when necessary. Generally speaking, different patients with esophageal cancer have different results on how long they can live in the advanced stage. Having esophageal cancer doesn't mean death. Healthy and optimistic treatment can prolong life as much as possible. Have a strong desire for life, for life.
