What is the Prognosis of Stage III Esophagus Cancer?
The esophagus is the long, narrow tube that connects the throat to the stomach, and it is where food travels immediately after it is swallowed. Cancer of the esophagus in the United States is rare. As with many forms of cancer, the causes are not clear. Stage III esophageal cancer occurs when the cancer has spread to the outer walls of the esophagus, and the survival rate when this occurs is low.
