How long can you live if lung cancer spreads to the brain

Lung cancer with brain metastasis belongs to stage IV, which is the late stage. The survival time is not long. It depends on the type of small cell lung cancer and the specific situation of the patient. For example, small cell lung cancer has a high brain metastasis rate, and most of the survival period is within 2-3 years. If it is not treated, the survival period is less than one year. Brain metastasis in lung cancer patients is the main manifestation of the disease entering the clinical late stage. Generally speaking, only palliative treatment can be used, and some Chinese medicine symptomatic treatment or targeted drug treatment can be used.

How should lung cancer be treated after surgery?

If the patient is a stage I lung cancer patient, it is a radical resection with no tumor residue, basically no postoperative treatment is needed, and Chinese medicine can be taken for conditioning and consolidation. If the patient is a stage II or even stage III patient, he needs chemotherapy after surgery. If the tumor is not completely removed locally, or there is a local tumor residue, then local radiotherapy is needed to improve the local tumor control rate, thereby improving long-term survival and cure rate. For the situation you are talking about now, postoperative treatment of lung cancer can be treated with Chinese medicine. Lung cancer patients can be treated by surgery if they are in the early stage.

What to do if lung cancer causes recurrent fever

Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor of the respiratory system. The disease may not have any symptoms in the early stages. As the tumor progresses, coughing, sputum and blood in the sputum may occur. It may also be accompanied by symptoms such as chest tightness, chest pain and difficulty breathing. It may be caused by concurrent infection or tumor fever, and it is necessary to continue to use drugs for anti-infection treatment. The main reason why lung cancer patients have repeated fevers is that as the disease worsens, cancer cells will seriously damage the human body's internal environment and reduce immunity. Especially for patients with low white blood cells, they often have repeated fevers due to infection, so the key to treatment is to improve the patient's immunity. Medical history characteristics, patients with lung cancer often have fevers, and the fever is caused by lung cancer. The main treatment is the primary lung cancer. Lung cancer can be treated surgically in the early stages. If surgery is not possible, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy can be used.
