How long can you live with advanced lung cancer metastasized to the brain

Lung cancer patients with brain metastasis symptoms need to undergo imaging examinations as soon as possible for diagnosis. Common imaging examinations are cranial CT and brain MRI examinations. Tumors are discovered through imaging examinations, and then puncture biopsies are performed, pathological diagnosis is made, and active treatment is required. Systemic treatment and local treatment are required to control the disease. Systemic treatment mainly includes chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy, biological therapy, and immunotherapy. Local treatment mainly includes radiotherapy and gamma knife therapy. After brain metastasis, survival is usually relatively short, and patients also experience symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. When advanced lung cancer metastasizes to the brain, the patient's survival time depends on the site of metastasis and the growth rate of the tumor.
