A member asked:
Could esophageal cancer be treated 4ever with chemo & radiation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
4ever means?: If you mean treated successfully with a long term remission or cure, it can happen, depending on the situation. If you mean treating the cancer all the time "4ever", no. Radiation is given over 6 weeks or so.
