It is impossible to generalize how many years of survival for pharyngeal cancer, which is related to multiple factors such as pathological stage, treatment method and human body condition. Generally speaking, after comprehensive treatment, the 5-year survival rate of patients with T1-T4 stage is 85%, 60%, 48% and 30% respectively, and the prognosis of patients with early detection and treatment is relatively better.
Clinically, “5-year survival rate” is often used to assess the survival of patients with pharyngeal cancer. Generally speaking, T1 and T2 stage patients belong to the early stage of the disease, and the infiltration and metastasis of the cancer cells are relatively small at this time, if they can be treated by local surgical resection, radiotherapy and other comprehensive treatments, the 5-year survival rate can reach 85%, 60%, and most of the patients can have a natural voice. Most of the patients can have natural voice.
If the disease progresses to middle and late stage, that is, T3 and T4 stage, the cancer cells have invaded the surrounding tissues, and neck lymph node metastasis or distant metastasis occurs, after comprehensive treatment, the 5-year survival rate is reduced, about 48%, 30%. At this time, it is necessary to speak through artificial generator.
Although the specific survival time of pharyngeal cancer varies from person to person, it is possible to prolong the survival time if this disease can be diagnosed and treated earlier, so patients need to actively cooperate with doctors for treatment.
