How long can you live with ascites in advanced lung cancer?

1. It is generally unclear how long a patient with ascites in the late stage of lung cancer can live.

2. Lung cancer is a common primary lung malignancy that originates from the bronchial mucosa or glands. It can be divided into small cell carcinoma and non-small cell carcinoma according to tissue lesions. Clinical symptoms are mostly hidden, mainly manifested as cough, sputum, hemoptysis, weight loss, etc. The cause of lung cancer is still unclear, mainly including smoking, occupational exposure, air pollution, ionizing radiation, diet and physical activity, genetics, etc. Ascites in patients with advanced lung cancer indicates severe symptoms. It may be that hypoproteinemia caused by tumor consumption affects tissue fluid recovery, leading to abdominal water accumulation, or lung cancer spreads and metastasizes, but it is not clear how long the patient can live.

3. At this time, active treatment is needed to improve the patient's condition and prolong survival. After the illness, the patient should pay attention to rest, not overwork, not stay up late, and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment. Family members should also do a good job of psychological work for the patient and inspire the patient appropriately.
