Survival rate after surgery for advanced esophageal cancer is uncertain, as the severity of the disease varies from patient to patient, and the survival time will range from a few months to a few years. Generally speaking, the five-year survival rate is around 20%-30% if the patient actively cooperates with the treatment, but if the patient has better treatment effect or better recovery after surgery, the survival rate can be more than 30% or higher. The survival rate of patients with advanced esophageal cancer has a great relationship with whether the patients actively cooperate with doctors in treatment and postoperative recovery. Nutritional status, mental state and psychological emotion of patients are all factors affecting the survival rate. It is suggested that patients with advanced esophageal cancer should keep a good mindset, actively cooperate with doctors and pay attention to postoperative care, and have a follow-up examination every three months to observe the recovery of their body, and consume easy-to-digest liquid food in terms of diet.
