How long can patients with ovarian cancer live in the middle and late stages? How can we improve the survival rate

Although the incidence of ovarian cancer ranks third among malignant tumors of the female reproductive organs, it ranks first in mortality. Because of its relatively high mortality rate, it brings great mental pressure to patients. How long can patients with ovarian cancer live in the middle and late stages? This is a question that these patients often ask.

Ovarian cancer is a disease with a relatively complex etiology, and its symptoms vary widely. Although its mortality rate is high in the middle and late stages, it is not possible to clearly determine how long a patient can live. In real life, to see how long a patient can live, a comprehensive consideration is required.

First of all, it depends on whether the primary tumor is large or small, and it also depends on the treatment effect, and even the patient's own mentality. These are all uncertain factors. For example, patients with mid-stage ovarian cancer can receive surgical treatment and adjuvant chemotherapy, and the treatment effect is still relatively obvious.

For some patients with mid-stage ovarian cancer, the cancer cells have not yet spread when they are discovered, and their physical condition is relatively good. The combination of chemotherapy and surgery can completely control the disease, and it is possible that the disease will not recur if they receive good recovery and care after surgery.

As for patients in the late stage, the more serious ones are mainly treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Patients who are well cared for can live for more than five years, and even survive for a long time. It is said that 40% of patients in the late stage can survive for a long time.

Therefore, if you find that you have a disease, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. Don't delay and the condition will become serious. You don't have to keep thinking about how long you can live with ovarian cancer in the middle and late stages. Instead, you should actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment and control the disease as soon as possible.

The survival period of patients with advanced ovarian cancer cannot be determined, but the survival rate can be improved. Although it is not certain whether patients can live for three years, we already know the main factors that affect the survival period, such as tumor type, physical constitution, treatment plan, etc. Some factors may not be able to be changed, but some can be improved, such as physical constitution and treatment plan. Improving the patient's physical constitution from the aspects of diet, psychology, and exercise, and choosing a more suitable treatment method for the patient from the treatment plan can help increase the patient's survival period.

Regarding diet, ovarian cancer patients should take the principle of replenishing qi and blood and increasing appetite as the main food, mainly rice, noodles, porridge and other staple foods, and choose foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as eggs, milk, fresh lean meat, carrots, tomatoes, spinach, onions and so on.

Psychologically: If the patient has negative emotions such as negativity and fear, he or she can communicate more with medical staff and family members to get encouragement and comfort; actively exchange rehabilitation experiences with sunny and optimistic fellow patients to relieve the tension in his or her heart; he or she can also watch TV, chat, read, listen to music, and relieve stress through self-relaxation.

Exercise: Walk outside more often and do some functional recovery exercises, such as swimming, jogging, Tai Chi, etc. Depending on the patient's physical condition and as long as the body does not feel pain, engage in exercise within one's ability.

Treatment: What kind of treatment plan is suitable for patients with advanced ovarian cancer? Sometimes patients themselves may not be clear. After all, they are not medical professionals. At present, the choices in this regard are mainly concentrated on traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Western medicine is mainly based on radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine is traditional Chinese medicine treatment. The advantages of radiotherapy and chemotherapy are fast efficacy, which can effectively kill cancer cells, inhibit tumor progression, and relieve symptoms such as pain, compression, and swelling. The disadvantages are that they are prone to recurrence and have large side effects. While killing cancer cells, normal cells will also be damaged, resulting in toxic and side effects such as bone marrow suppression, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and hair loss, and sometimes damage to internal organs and reproductive system. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is based on the concept of strengthening the body to fight cancer, and pays equal attention to strengthening the body and attacking the poison. It uses traditional Chinese medicine for anti-tumor treatment. At the same time, it pays attention to systemic regulation, improving and consolidating the patient's immune function and constitution, preventing recurrence of the disease, improving the quality of life, and prolonging survival.

The advantages and disadvantages of Chinese and Western medicine in treating cancer are quite obvious. The choice depends on the patient's wishes. However, many patients currently have misunderstandings about Chinese medicine, thinking that Chinese medicine is only an auxiliary role. In fact, Chinese medicine is profound and the anti-tumor treatment effect of Chinese medicine is obvious to all. The theory of Chinese medicine dialectical diagnosis and individualized treatment treats ovarian cancer as a systemic disease. Many patients have been able to persist in fighting tumors for a long time through the conditioning of Chinese medicine and have been able to survive with tumors for a long time.

Since its establishment, the hospital has helped tens of thousands of cancer patients control tumors, relieve symptoms, reduce pain, and prolong life. It has been trusted by patients for many years.
