Lung cancer How long can you live if lung cancer spreads throughout your body?

1. If it is non-small cell lung cancer, with the rise of targeted therapy this year, the survival time of patients with adenocarcinoma in particular has been relatively extended, which can be extended by two years or even longer.

2. If it metastasizes to the bones and causes bone pain, the main risk is fracture, which has little impact on the patient's life span. Generally, patients with advanced lung cancer will experience symptoms of systemic spread.

What happens if small nodules appear after surgery for early-stage lung cancer?

The doctor will select appropriate examination methods according to the patient's specific situation, such as fiberoptic bronchoscopy, CT localization puncture, liquid biopsy, etc., to further clarify the diagnosis. Because the surgical pathology has high-risk factors, postoperative radiotherapy is recommended, and further genetic testing is performed to understand whether targeted treatment is feasible.

Once a small lung nodule is found, the patient does not need to be overly nervous and can undergo thoracic surgery in a general hospital.

Can ascites caused by advanced lung cancer metastasis be cured?

Patients with advanced lung cancer and liver metastasis and ascites generally have a survival time of three months, but this does not represent everyone's survival time. Active treatment can prolong the survival period.

The lesion has metastasized to the liver, indicating that the primary cancer is in the late stage and cannot be surgically removed at this time. Even if surgery is performed, the cancer cells will still metastasize through the blood. It can be treated, which depends on the effect of conservative treatment. In the late stage of hepatocellular carcinoma, ascites is difficult to subside and recurs.
