How long can a 70-year-old with advanced lung cancer live with conservative treatment

If a 70-year-old patient with advanced lung cancer chooses conservative treatment, his survival time varies greatly depending on individual conditions and the quality of treatment and care, usually ranging from several months to a year, depending on the patient's health status and the progression of the disease.

Lung cancer in the advanced stage means that cancer cells have metastasized widely and cannot usually be completely removed by surgery or radical treatment. Conservative treatment focuses on relieving symptoms, improving quality of life and prolonging survival, including pain relief, nutritional support and psychological intervention. Although this method cannot cure cancer, it can effectively reduce the patient's pain and improve the dignity of life.

The survival time of different individuals is affected by many factors, such as the patient's overall health (such as whether there are other chronic diseases), the type of cancer and the speed of progression, the support of family and friends, etc. Another point is that some patients may accidentally prolong their survival time through active nutritional management and psychological counseling during the convalescence process.

It is recommended that patients clearly communicate with their families about the goals and methods of conservative treatment and cooperate with doctors to develop personalized nursing and analgesia plans. If there is a sharp deterioration or worsening of discomfort, contact medical staff in a timely manner to adjust the treatment strategy. Professional psychological support is also particularly important for patients and their families to adjust their status.
