How long can you live with breast cancer lymph node metastasis

There are many ways for tumors to metastasize, and lymphatic metastasis is one of the more common ways. It refers to the phenomenon that infiltrating tumor cells pass through the wall of lymphatic vessels, fall off, and are carried to the lymph nodes in the confluence area with the lymph fluid, and the same tumor grows around it. How long can breast cancer lymphatic metastasis last? Let's take a look at the following introduction.

The first stop of lymph node metastasis is generally the group of lymph nodes closest to the tumor. The most common metastasis of breast cancer patients is axillary lymph node metastasis, accounting for about 60% of patients. Cancer cells penetrate into the axillary lymph nodes along the lymphatic vessels on the outer edge of the pectoralis major muscle. Axillary lymph node metastasis is related to the size of the primary tumor. The larger the tumor volume and the later the disease stage, the higher the axillary lymph node metastasis and the greater the number of metastases. Clinically, even if the axillary lymph nodes are not palpable, lymph node metastasis is often found after surgery.

How long can breast cancer patients with lymph node metastasis live? The treatment of breast cancer is a systematic process involving many factors. Generally speaking, how long can patients with advanced breast cancer live, in other words, how long is the survival of patients with advanced breast cancer, mainly depends on whether the treatment method of advanced breast cancer is appropriate and the patient's physical fitness. In addition, patients with advanced breast cancer or their families should learn more about the treatment of advanced breast cancer and communicate more with the attending physician, which will help prolong the survival of patients with advanced breast cancer.

The physical function of breast cancer patients is also an important factor in determining how long they can live with lymphatic metastasis of breast cancer. Only with good physical function and strong immunity can they resist the development of cancer and tolerate various drug treatments. Therefore, improving immune function and enhancing resistance to tumors is extremely important for patients with advanced breast cancer. First of all, in terms of daily diet, breast cancer patients should eat kelp, seaweed and other foods that have the function of resolving phlegm, softening and dispersing nodules; gastrointestinal reactions and bone marrow suppression are prone to occur during chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer, so sugarcane juice, bergamot, fresh fruit juice, etc. can be eaten; fatty foods should be reduced, and breast cancer patients should eat less fatty meat and spicy foods.
