Small/don't give up.: At this point, it has spread past the esophageal area/boundary. This is likely to be treated with multiple therapy, like surgery, radiation, and chemotx.. Surgery may help a lot in the case of squamous cell ca., especially if done after chemotx.. I have to say that the 5 year survival of these cases is likely < 5% due to their advanced stage, but depending on the pt., try b/c you never know.
