Brief Summary

Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified sex, TNM classification, and subjective symptoms as independent risk factors for overall survival. In the symptomatic group, the mean time from symptom onset to diagnosis was 2.4+-4.3 months. The incidence of subjective symptoms differed by clinical stage, and the prognosis of patients with swallowing-related symptoms was significantly worse than that of patients with other symptoms.
