How long can you live with lung cancer bone metastasis

The early symptoms of lung cancer are not very obvious, so when lung cancer is discovered, it is already in the middle or late stage. In the middle or late stage, there will be signs of metastasis. So how long can a patient live if he or she has bone metastasis of lung cancer?

How long can a patient with lung cancer bone metastasis live?

Lung cancer is divided into three stages: early, middle, and late. In the middle stage, patients have to rely on chemotherapy to maintain their lives. In the late stage, even chemotherapy is no longer suitable. Generally, if the prognosis is good, the longest is 5 years. If it is not so good, it is only about 1-2 years. Needless to say, the poor prognosis. Bone metastasis of lung cancer is a more serious complication of lung cancer, and the metastasis is very fast.

Bone metastasis of lung cancer is a common phenomenon in the late stage of lung cancer. Bone metastasis of lung cancer aggravates the patient's condition, makes treatment more difficult, and shortens the survival of lung cancer patients. Therefore, many patients will feel pessimistic after knowing that they have bone metastasis of lung cancer, and often ask the question of "survival time of bone metastasis of lung cancer". The question of "survival time of bone metastasis of lung cancer" is difficult to answer simply. It is determined by many factors, such as the treatment of lung cancer metastasis, the patient's own immunity, environmental factors, etc. The treatment after lung cancer metastasis determines the patient's survival time. If the correct treatment plan is adopted after lung cancer metastasis, it can effectively control the tumor and prolong the patient's survival time. If the wrong treatment method is adopted, it will not only fail to prolong the patient's survival time, but also cause the patient to suffer more severe pain.

The incidence of bone metastasis in patients with advanced lung cancer is about 50%-70%. The distribution of metastasis is 75% in the axial bones, 10% in the skull, and 4% in the forearm bones of the hands and feet. The common site of bone metastasis is the spine, with the thoracic spine being the most commonly affected, followed by the lumbar spine, and the sacral and cervical spine being the least affected. About 25% of patients with primary lung cancer bone metastasis have no symptoms, and 75% of patients have the primary symptom of localized pain, which is intermittent at first and gradually develops into fixed and persistent pain, which is obvious at night and often unbearable. A few cases have pathological fractures, with an incidence of 10%. The incidence of hypercalcemia is also about 10%, and the incidence of spinal cord compression is about 1%. Patients with hypercalcemia may experience abdominal pain, intractable vomiting, severe dehydration, acute renal failure, coma, etc. Bone metastasis of lung cancer is common in patients with advanced lung cancer, and bones are the most likely site for metastasis in patients with lung cancer. It is difficult to treat patients with lung cancer after bone metastasis occurs. If not treated in time, the patient will die in a short time.

How long can a patient live with lung cancer bone metastasis? How long can a patient live? It needs to be considered comprehensively. Because everyone's physique is different, the psychological state is also a very important factor in the development of the disease. I hope this knowledge is helpful to everyone.
