How long can a person with lung cancer metastasize to a brain tumor live

Late-stage malignant tumors in other parts of the body generally refer to tumor metastasis to distant parts of the body. Late-stage brain cancer generally refers to a state where the tumor causes a significant increase in intracranial pressure or involves a wide range of areas, making it difficult to perform surgical resection. A brain CT scan is required to see the specific situation of the brain tumor. If the malignancy is relatively high, the survival time of the brain tumor is even shorter. Once non-small cell lung cancer metastasizes to the brain, the median survival time is 10-12 months, and some cases can be as long as 4-5 years, or even longer.

Is TCM effective in treating brain tumors?

At present, the medical treatment of brain cancer mainly relies on the combination of Chinese and Western medicine to achieve more obvious results. Patients should pay attention to eating more nutritious vegetables or fruits rich in vitamins in their diet, which will help improve the immunity of brain cancer patients. Chinese medicine has relatively little damage to healthy cells and generally does not cause new damage to physical strength due to the treatment itself. As cancer improves, physical strength will gradually recover and immunity will be gradually enhanced. Brain tumors are generally substantial tumors with different properties, including benign and malignant. Among them, benign meningiomas are more common.

Will brain cancer cause a high fever?

Intracranial malignant tumors include gliomas, malignant meningiomas, germ cell tumors, etc. As the tumor gradually grows, it will cause symptoms of increased intracranial pressure. If it is complicated by intracranial infection, it will cause fever. If it causes damage to the hypothalamus, it can lead to abnormal temperature regulation. It is necessary to treat it in time according to the specific symptoms. Brain cancer patients may have a fever. It may be that the harmful substances in the tumor have entered the subarachnoid space, causing fever. Patients with brain tumors will have a fever, whether it is a malignant tumor or a benign tumor.
