Mortality rate from esophageal cancer bleeding

Nowadays, many people are afraid of cancer. Once diagnosed with cancer, what patients are most concerned about is how long they can live. Esophageal cancer is no exception. Many esophageal cancer patients and their families are more concerned about the survival rate. Since the condition of each esophageal cancer patient is different, how long they can live depends on the individual.

In fact, cancer experts cannot give a definite answer to whether patients with advanced esophageal cancer can live long, because the life span itself is difficult to determine, and in the advanced stage of cancer, the survival time is even more uncertain. However, patients should not think that advanced cancer is a terminal illness and give up treatment. In fact, advanced esophageal cancer can prolong life by taking reasonable treatment methods.

Reasonable, scientific and effective treatment methods are important factors that affect how long patients live. Generally, when esophageal cancer reaches the late stage and the tumor metastasizes, radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be chosen. Traditional Chinese medicine is still the main treatment method, which plays an important role in promoting how long patients can live in the late stage of esophageal cancer.

Chemotherapy for advanced esophageal cancer is mainly combined with chemotherapy. Radiotherapy or chemotherapy alone is not very effective. During radiotherapy, patients may experience symptoms such as increased dysphagia and increased pain from one week before the start of radiotherapy. The reason is that radiotherapy causes edema in esophageal cancer. Therefore, it is recommended that patients combine traditional Chinese medicine with radiotherapy to play a role in harmonization, toxicity reduction, and efficacy enhancement. However, for some advanced esophageal cancer patients with a wide range of spread, old age, weak physical function, and inability to tolerate radiotherapy and chemotherapy, conservative treatment can be carried out through traditional Chinese medicine.

Increasing the patient's immunity is also one of the important considerations for how long a patient with advanced esophageal cancer can live, so a healthy diet and nutritional balance need to be ensured.

The above introduces how long a patient with esophageal cancer can live. For patients with advanced esophageal cancer, it is necessary to improve the patient's immune ability, which is of great help in improving the patient's survival period. At this time, the patient's family must ensure the patient's diet and nutrition are matched to prolong the patient's life to the greatest extent.
