Conditional Survival of Patients Who Underwent Curative Resection for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Conclusions: Conditional survival estimates generally increase over time, and the largest improvements were observed for patients with advanced stage. Availability of updated prognosis at various time points allows clinicians to better guide their patients. Our results also imply substantial residual risk of recurrence and sustained excess mortality compared to the general population even after 5 years.
