How long can you live if liver cancer cells spread

How long can a patient live if liver cancer cells spread? More than half of patients with liver cancer are in the late stage clinically, and treatment is the most difficult. About 300,000 patients die from liver cancer every year in the world, and more than 40% of them are in my country. This proportion shows the high incidence and mortality of liver cancer in my country, and also shows how serious the harm of liver cancer, a malignant tumor disease, is.

The cure rate of early liver cancer is very high, but because early liver cancer is difficult to detect, most patients are already in the middle and late stages when they seek medical treatment. So how long can liver cancer cells spread? This is also what many advanced patients and their families want to know. Cancer experts point out that it is difficult to determine the survival time of patients with advanced liver cancer. Because the cause of each patient, history of disease, severity of the disease, physical fitness, etc. are different, the survival time is also affected by many factors.

There are two main factors that affect the survival time of patients with advanced liver cancer: one is the treatment method, and the other is the patient's mental state and physical fitness.

If patients with advanced liver cancer develop ascites and jaundice, their survival period is 3-6 months. Therefore, treatment of the disease is urgent. As the duration of illness increases, not only will the cost of treatment increase exponentially, but the success rate of treatment will also be greatly reduced. In view of this situation, liver cancer treatment must race against time, and must be "early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment." Avoid the phenomenon of regretting it in the late stage of liver cancer.

In the past, the most commonly used method for treating diseases in my country was traditional Chinese medicine, but with the introduction of Western medicine, the treatment methods have become more and more diverse. Currently, the most commonly used treatment method for liver cancer patients in clinical practice is surgical resection. If it is an early-stage patient, the one-year survival rate after surgery is 80%, and the five-year survival rate is more than 50%, which means that half of the early-stage liver cancer patients can achieve a five-year survival period after surgery.

Although surgical treatment has shown good results, it is also accompanied by postoperative complications. Clinically, many patients fail to achieve a five-year survival period due to postoperative complications. Complications are often more torturous than the cancer itself, making it difficult for most patients to endure. Poor treatment effects directly affect the length of survival. Therefore, how to treat liver cancer more safely and effectively has become a research topic in the medical community.

In recent years, the application of traditional Chinese medicine in cancer treatment has shown miraculous effects. Unlike local treatment methods such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgery, traditional Chinese medicine has no toxic side effects. For cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the combination of traditional Chinese medicine treatment has the therapeutic effect of reducing toxicity and increasing efficacy. It is low in cost and has good efficacy, and is well received by patients.

Clinical practice has also proved that combining one or several therapies, simultaneously or successively, can achieve much better results than single therapy in treating the same case according to the condition. It must be pointed out that comprehensive treatment is not the mechanical addition of several traditional therapies, but an organic combination based on new practices. Prolonging life adopts the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, which is worth a try for patients and friends.
