There is no way to determine how long a person can live in the middle and late stages of esophageal cancer, which is mainly determined by the patient’s physical condition and treatment effect.
Clinically, most of the middle and late stage esophageal squamous carcinoma cannot be operated, and can only be treated by radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other conservative ways, but the specific survival time still depends on the treatment effect and the patient’s physical condition.
If the patient is young and in good physical condition, and the treatment sensitivity is high, the survival period is relatively long, the three-year survival rate can be up to 60%, and the survival cycle of some patients will be even longer; however, if the patient is in poor physical condition and the effect is not good, the survival period is relatively shorter, with only a few months to a year or so.
Patients with squamous esophageal cancer are recommended to consult the doctor in time and under the doctor’s guidance for standardized and individualized treatment in order to reduce pain and prolong survival.
