that depends on the stage. the survival is directly related to the advance of the tumor through the wall of the organ

will someone with developed esophagal cancer be at risk of dying? or can he be saved 100%?

The video scared me a lot...

the "cabbage-like" tissue is the cancer itself, the cancer obstructed the esophagus and that's why it was necessary to set the endoprothesis. the patient is still alive and is able to eat oraly
