Early stage esophageal cancer patients can recover with active treatment, but it is more difficult for late stage patients to recover. Esophageal cancer belongs to malignant tumors, and its causes are quite complicated. It is considered to be related to long-term smoking, bad dietary habits, heredity and so on. Although the disease cannot be cured by itself, if patients are in the early stage of esophageal cancer and actively cooperate with doctors for surgical treatment, they can usually be cured and recovered. If the patient is in the middle or late stage of the disease or does not actively cooperate with doctors, the disease is usually incurable. Usually, the 5-year survival rate of esophageal cancer patients after receiving surgery or radical radiotherapy is about 20%. Among them, the prognosis of early stage esophageal cancer patients is good, and the 5-year survival rate after radical treatment is usually more than 90%. It is suggested that esophageal cancer patients should adjust their mentality, actively cooperate with doctors to take treatment measures and regularly consult doctors for review. They should pay attention to the rationality of daily diet, and those who have difficulty in feeding through mouth can follow the doctor’s instruction to perform enteral nutrition or parenteral nutrition.
