How long can you live without treatment of skin cancer

The occurrence of skin cancer always brings certain risks to the life and safety of patients. Nowadays, the incidence of skin cancer is also rising sharply, which makes many friends fall into great panic. So how long can you live without treating skin cancer? Let's take a look at its specific introduction:

Skin cancer includes basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma, malignant lymphoma, idiopathic hemorrhagic sarcoma, sweat gland carcinoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, angiosarcoma, etc. Since skin cancer is rare in my country, doctors and patients do not fully understand its seriousness. Generally, when they seek medical treatment, the disease is already in the middle or late stage, and the treatment effect is not satisfactory. Therefore, early detection and timely surgical treatment are crucial. So how long can you live after skin cancer surgery? It needs to be analyzed according to the specific situation of the patient.
1. Tumor thickness, that is, the depth of tumor infiltration. The 5-year survival rate for patients with primary lesions ≤0.75mm is 89%, while that for patients ≥4mm is only 25%.
Second, the location of the lesion. According to clinical analysis, the surgical efficacy of malignant melanoma varies depending on the location of the tumor, which further affects the survival period after surgery. It is generally believed that the prognosis of tumors occurring in the trunk is the worst, followed by those in the head and neck, and those in the limbs are better.
