Can late stage kidney cancer be cured?

The survival of patients with advanced renal cancer varies from person to person. Patients should build confidence, understand their disease stage, and find the most appropriate treatment. With the continuous improvement of treatment methods, new treatment methods and drugs are increasingly used in the treatment of advanced renal cancer, making the survival of patients with advanced renal cancer significantly higher than before.

Patients should not let the question of how long they can live in the late stage of cancer affect their mood for treatment, nor should they believe in advertisements that claim a certain drug can make patients with late stage kidney cancer live longer. There is no definite answer to the question of how long they can live in the late stage of kidney cancer, and they should receive regular treatment as soon as possible.

This is a question that many patients with advanced kidney cancer and their families are concerned about. They often ask their attending physicians similar questions: Can advanced kidney cancer be cured? The question of how long patients with advanced kidney cancer can live is actually very difficult to answer. The treatment of kidney cancer is a systematic treatment process that involves many factors.

In general, in other words, how long patients with advanced renal cancer can survive depends mainly on whether the treatment method is appropriate and the patient's physical fitness. In addition, patients with advanced renal cancer or their families should learn more about the treatment of advanced renal cancer and communicate more with their attending physicians, which will help prolong the survival of patients with advanced renal cancer.

The possibility of surgical resection is very low. Whether the treatment method of renal cancer is appropriate is the most important factor affecting whether the advanced renal cancer can be cured. As for the treatment method of advanced renal cancer. Clinically, the treatment methods of advanced renal cancer mainly include radiotherapy, chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment and immunotherapy. The above methods have their own advantages in the treatment of advanced renal cancer, but they also have certain disadvantages. Renal cancer is not very sensitive to radiotherapy, but for patients with advanced renal cancer, radiotherapy can reduce local pain, hematuria and relieve toxic symptoms to a certain extent. However, since radiotherapy can also damage normal cells, radiotherapy should be used with caution for patients with advanced renal cancer with very weak physical functions. Renal cancer is also insensitive to chemotherapy. Cyclophosphamide, 6-mercaptopurine, vinblastine, dactinomycin and cyclohexylnitrosourea have some therapeutic value. If combined with radiotherapy, the effect is better than chemotherapy or radiotherapy alone. In addition, immunotherapy can expand the effects of cellular and antibody immune responses through immune-active cells and enhance the host's anti-tumor ability. The efficacy has been increasingly recognized. For example, interferon can enhance the activity of natural killer cells and is also a commonly used drug for the treatment of advanced renal cancer. The above three treatment methods are harmful to the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine can be combined with treatment in the treatment of advanced renal cancer to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity. For patients with advanced renal cancer who have a wide range of metastasis, weak physical functions, and who can no longer tolerate chemotherapy, radical treatment with traditional Chinese medicine can be used. Although the short-term effect is not as obvious as chemotherapy, the long-term effect is good, and it has a significant effect in improving the quality of life and prolonging survival.

Improvement of the patient's physical function is an important factor affecting whether late-stage renal cancer can be cured. In addition, only with good physical function and strong immunity can one resist the growth of cancer and tolerate various drug treatments. Therefore, improving immune function and enhancing resistance to tumors is extremely important for patients with advanced renal cancer. In terms of diet, avoid eating moldy, scorched food and unclean water, eat less hot food and salted food, do not drink alcohol or smoke; eat foods that can decompose carcinogenic nitrosamines such as carrots, peas, melons, pumpkins, etc.; pay attention to a low-salt diet and eat light and vitamin-rich foods.
