Will lung cancer patients feel thirsty and vomit? How long can they live?

In fact, it is difficult to tell how long you will live. If you have advanced lung cancer, aggressive treatment may extend your life a little. In general, pay attention to eating more nutritious foods. If you can't supplement, you can give albumin intravenously. If necessary, emergency measures should be taken to ensure that the cancer cells do not continue to spread and reduce the scope. Dry mouth has no correlation with survival.

Early symptoms and signs of lung cancer

Lung cancer causes cough in the early stages, and the cough cannot be cured for a long time and may even recur. During coughing, the sputum in the mouth may bleed, and there may even be chest tightness and pain. Patients are often diagnosed with lung cancer through lung CT. Early bone and joint symptoms of lung cancer include swelling and pain in the bone and joints, and clubbing of the swollen ends of the fingers and toes. In severe cases, the movement of the limb joints may be affected. There are usually no symptoms in the early stages of lung cancer. As the disease progresses, symptoms such as persistent cough and hemoptysis may occur. Based on your description and analysis, you should go to the respiratory department of the local tertiary hospital for a lung CT.

Is it necessary to treat advanced lung cancer?

The survival time of patients with advanced lung cancer who are positive for driver genes can reach more than 2 years. Anti-tumor treatment measures such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy can alleviate the clinical symptoms of advanced patients, reduce pain, and improve the quality of life. In addition to the above-mentioned radiotherapy and chemotherapy, corresponding genetic tests can also be performed. If the test results allow, targeted drugs or immune preparations can be used in combination for treatment, which can also prolong the patient's survival time and improve the quality of life in the late stage. When lung cancer develops to the late stage, it is difficult to cure. At this time, the only thing that can be done is to relieve the patient's pain and improve their quality of life.
