Prognosis In general, the prognosis of esophageal cancer is quite poor, because so many patients present with advanced disease: The overall five-year survival rate (5YSR) is less than 5%. Individualized prognosis depends largely on stage. Those with cancer restricted entirely to the esophageal mucosa have about an 80% 5YSR, but submucosal involvement brings this down to less than 50%. Extension into the muscularis propria (muscular layer of the esophageus) has meant a 20% 5YSR and extension to the structures adjacent to the esophagus results in a 7% 5YSR. Patients with distant metastases (who are not candidates for curative surgery) have a less than 3% 5YSR.

He is one of the most fearless debaters I've ever seen. His intellectual ferocity is unmatched in today's pussy-ass soundbite culture. I love how he's unafraid to be the only person in the room who holds a certain viewpoint. Also, he's a drunk, which is kinda cool, too.

I regret having had to cancel so many engagements at such short notice.” linky He won't last 6 months. I knew someone close to me who had this cancer. Nasty.

Posts: 7054 06/30/10 11:36 PM You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Reply Quote More Recent Posts	I really like watching him because you can never guess the next thing to come out of his mouth. He does have some good stories. However the "pity me" thing happening at the same time his book drops, makes it all seem so disingenuous.

He pinched that idea from Germaine Greer without attribution, and went on to trash her more generally. Stil, a fun romp that was ambrosia to my young atheist soul or whatever it is we have.

I love everything of his I've ever read (which is most of it). Hard to believe that someone with his lifestyle would get cancer. But he's had a good life.
