Chemotherapy for stage III esophageal cancer usually needs to be done 4~6 times, but the number of times is not fixed, usually constantly adjusted by doctors according to the patient’s chemotherapy effect and physical quality. One cycle of chemotherapy for stage III esophageal cancer usually takes 3 weeks, and usually 4~6 times of chemotherapy, i.e. 4~6 cycles, takes about 3 months. If the patient’s condition is stable after chemotherapy and the esophageal cancer is under some control, he/she can go home and recuperate, and it is recommended that the patient should have regular rechecks, depending on the progress of esophageal cancer to decide the next treatment plan. If the patient’s physical condition is too poor, he/she needs to carry out follow-up chemotherapy after getting well, or choose other modes of treatment such as targeted drugs, at which time the number of chemotherapy will be reduced accordingly. At present, stage III esophageal cancer can be treated with radiotherapy alone or surgery with adjuvant therapy. It is recommended that patients actively cooperate with the treatment and go to the hospital, where doctors will analyze the comprehensive situation of the patients and choose the appropriate treatment plan.
