How many months can one live with advanced lung cancer

Lung cancer has now become one of the most common cancers in China. The main cause of lung cancer is the changes in the environment around us, factory excrement, smoking, chemical environment, and the long residence time and long transmission distance of PM2.5 in the atmosphere in cities, which has a greater impact on human health and the quality of the atmospheric environment. More and more people are suffering from lung cancer in harsh environments, and many people are concerned about how long patients with advanced lung cancer can live.

The survival time of lung cancer patients depends mainly on the extent of lung cancer spread, the patient's general condition, the response to treatment and the effectiveness of the treatment plan. The condition of patients in the late stage is more serious. Some doctors estimate the survival time of patients to be several months, which often refers to the worst case scenario of "several months" when the treatment is ineffective or the patient gives up treatment.

How long can you live with advanced lung cancer? The prognosis of lung cancer depends on early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment. If it is discovered in the late stage, the situation is very bleak. If it is discovered early, the medical system uses a 5-year survival rate to estimate the survival time. Eighty-six percent of patients die within five years after diagnosis. Therefore, the survival time of advanced lung cancer will not exceed five years, and lung cancer is prone to metastasis. It metastasizes to other parts or tissues and organs, and requires surgical resection, which is also extremely painful. There is no folk prescription to cure lung cancer. Clinically, it can only be relieved by surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, which cannot be directed at the root. Since the process of radiotherapy and chemotherapy will make the patient very painful, some Chinese medicine can be combined for treatment to reduce the body's response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy and relieve pain. There are no special requirements for diet, and the diet is the same as normal.

How to prolong the survival of patients with advanced lung cancer

1. Improve physical fitness: Exercise appropriately, supplement nutrition, pay attention to a regular life, let your physical condition keep up with the treatment, and resist further engulfment by cancer cells.

2. Pay attention to diet and health: eat more nutritious, easily absorbed and digestible foods, eat a light diet, eat small meals frequently, eat more fresh vegetables, and avoid eating raw, cold, spicy, greasy and irritating foods.

3. Good attitude: Think more about positive and optimistic people and things, and maintain a good attitude.

4. Choose the right treatment method: This is the most critical factor in determining survival. The physical fitness of patients in the advanced stage is generally poor, and many patients are unable to withstand the toxic side effects caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The treatment method should be chosen with caution. Do not treat for the sake of treatment. Appropriateness is the most important thing.
