Lung cancer is also accompanied by some malnutrition in the late stage. It is likely to cause physical fatigue, weight loss and pale color. In the late stage, it is best to be hospitalized for observation for a period of time, which can effectively control the occurrence of some complications. Lung cancer is currently the most common type of malignant tumor.

How many days can you live without eating or drinking in the advanced stage of lung cancer?

Therefore, how many days a patient with advanced lung cancer can survive without eating or drinking is related to the patient's disease status and treatment support. When a patient refuses to eat or drink, it also means that the patient's physical condition is already very weak and the condition has worsened, which will affect normal physiological functions and shorten the survival period. Of course, the survival period will also depend on the body's sensitivity to drug treatment and the degree of acceptance of reasonable treatment plans, which will also affect the survival period. The treatments for lung cancer mainly include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy.
