How long can you live with lung cancer brain bone metastasis

How long can you live with brain and bone metastasis of lung cancer?

1. If lung cancer has metastasized to the brain or bones, it is already in stage IV, which is a very late stage of lung cancer. So generally speaking, the survival period will be affected. However, the patient can prolong his survival time through active and effective treatment and good living habits. So it is uncertain how long he can live.

2. When lung cancer patients have bone metastasis, they often experience local pain, and have fixed-point tenderness and percussion pain. If it is spinal metastasis, it can compress the spinal canal and cause symptoms of obstruction or compression.

3. When lung cancer patients have brain metastases, they may also have symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, such as headache, nausea, vomiting, and changes in mental state. Rare symptoms include epileptic seizures, cranial nerve involvement, hemiplegia, and ataxia. If lung cancer has brain metastases and bone metastases, radiotherapy or chemotherapy can be considered. Active treatment may prolong the patient's survival, but it is impossible to determine how long the patient can live.
