Hot pot, spicy hotpot, barbecue, beer …… Did you know that most people face these foods without any scruples to gorge on them, and after eating them, they suffer endlessly because all these bad eating habits may be the cause of esophageal cancer. Often, few patients who are detected with esophageal cancer can escape from the chase of death, and they may disappear to the other side of the world in a few years, which is not a lament, but a worry that people should face properly. How long can I live with advanced esophageal cancer? The survival rate of 5 years for advanced esophageal cancer is quite low. But for advanced esophageal cancer, it has no chance to be cured, and the survival rate of 5 years is relatively low. Esophageal cancer is generally based on the mucosa of the esophagus, which does not have a plasma membrane layer, it is divided into mucosal layer, submucosal layer, and base layer. In this case, there is no chance of surgical treatment for tumor patients. How to treat advanced esophageal cancer in general? However, most Asians, especially Chinese, cannot tolerate radiotherapy and chemotherapy at the same time, so they cannot achieve radical treatment for esophageal cancer, so the 5-year survival rate of advanced esophageal cancer is very low. Since the survival rate of advanced esophageal cancer is so low, why not treat it at an early stage? Perhaps, some people may ask, since some patients with advanced esophageal cancer will not survive more than five years, why don’t they go for early treatment? In fact, it is not because patients with esophageal cancer do not go for treatment in early stage, but they simply do not know they have this disease in early stage. Because the general way of early detection of esophageal cancer is gastroscopy. How to achieve early detection of esophageal cancer? Esophageal cancer used to be screened early by gastroscopy. Therefore, people in areas with high incidence of esophageal cancer, family history, long-term smoking and drinking, and people over 40 years old should have gastroscopy once a year. In fact, gastroscopy is able to detect and screen out early esophageal cancer, but due to time, consumption, painful examination and other reasons, many patients with early stage of test tube cancer stop at the door of hospital. With the advancement of medicine, there is another test method that can detect esophageal cancer at early stage
That is genetic testing. Genetic testing for tumor medication is commonly recommended in domestic tertiary hospitals to develop more effective and less toxic medication regimens and to find the right targeted drugs. People with family history of tumor can be screened for risk through tumor susceptibility gene testing, which is of great clinical significance for tumor prevention.
