Do patients with gallbladder cancer live longer?

How long can patients with advanced gallbladder cancer live and whether it can be cured are the most concerned issues for patients and their families. However, even authoritative doctors may not be able to give a clear answer. Under the premise of ensuring a successful advanced treatment, each advanced gallbladder cancer patient has individual differences. Those with good physical condition and good resistance may survive with the tumor for a long time, while those with poor immune function may only survive for a few months. Therefore, it is impossible to generalize how long patients with advanced gallbladder cancer can live.

First of all, how long patients with advanced gallbladder cancer can live depends on whether the treatment method is appropriate. Advanced gallbladder cancer treatment mainly includes palliative surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine. Comprehensive use of various treatment methods can improve the level of advanced treatment and prolong the patient's survival, that is, live longer.

Secondly, the patient's physical function is also an important factor in determining how long a patient with gallbladder cancer can live in the late stage. Good physical function and strong immunity can resist cancer. Immunity can be adjusted through diet. Patients with advanced gallbladder cancer should eat fresh vegetables, eggs, and steamed fish, and avoid fried, deep-fried, and high-fat foods. They should not eat red dates, longans, white fungus, and other supplements that are easy to cause abdominal distension.

Patients should eliminate the psychological burden of how long they can live in the late stage of gallbladder cancer, maintain a good attitude and actively accept treatment, and have confidence in themselves. How long a patient can live in the late stage of gallbladder cancer varies from person to person. Sometimes, the tumor will fall off automatically, which is unpredictable.
