How long can you live after being diagnosed with advanced lung cancer

It is not possible to generalize how long patients with lung cancer can live. The cure rate of lung cancer varies from person to person. Epidemiological studies have shown that the 5-year survival rate is very low. The overall survival rate of lung cancer is 8%, and the 5-year survival rate after radical surgery for non-small cell lung cancer is 25%. The median survival time of limited-stage small cell lung cancer is 12-18 months, and that of extensive-stage is 6-10 months.

Regarding lung cancer, from onset to death, the average natural survival period without treatment is 1 year. Due to large individual differences, this is just an average. Some people may have less than a month, and some may have several years. The main symptoms are cough, sputum, hemoptysis, repeated symptoms of infection, and symptoms of tumor compression, gradual exhaustion and cachexia, difficulty breathing, jealousy and weakness. Treatment methods for lung cancer There are generally several methods to treat lung cancer, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and TDCV biological immunity.

Lung cancer in the late stage is difficult to treat. It is not recommended to use surgery blindly. It is recommended to carry out a small amount of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The first purpose should be to prolong life. It is recommended to follow the doctor's advice for treatment. Pay attention to the supplementation of selenium during the treatment of lung cancer. Selenium has the effects of anti-cancer, improving immunity, regulating the absorption of vitamin A and vitamin C, regulating protein synthesis, and improving cell antioxidant capacity. It is recommended to eat foods rich in selenium such as garlic, ginkgo, animal offal, duck eggs, seafood, etc. You can also take Selenium Weikang chewable tablets for supplementation. Appropriate exercise during the treatment of lung cancer can enhance the treatment effect. Patients with middle and late stage lung cancer are generally in a low mood. Family and friends need to give more confidence and care to patients with advanced lung cancer so that they can actively treat and face lung cancer with an optimistic attitude.
