How long can you live without surgery for advanced brain cancer

Brain cancer is a malignant tumor. As the tumor grows larger and infiltrates, it will show obvious clinical symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, coma, and limb dysfunction, which can be life-threatening in the later stages. If the tumor is large, surgery is not possible, and one can only consider treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, while also assisting with symptomatic treatments such as reducing intracranial pressure and diuretics to delay the progression of the disease. The purpose of treatment can only be to prolong life, not to cure it.

Ordinary Western medicine does not have a good treatment plan for late-stage brain cancer, and the patient is old, so treatment is mainly based on traditional Chinese medicine. Symptomatic medication is prescribed to regulate the imbalance of yin and yang, qi and blood, fully activate and strengthen the body's immune capacity, restore the body's normal tissue capacity, promote blood microcirculation, improve the patient's internal environment, control the progression of the disease, and maximize the patient's survival time.

In recent years, the incidence of intracranial tumors has been on the rise. According to statistics, intracranial tumors account for about 5% of all tumors in the body and 70% of childhood tumors. 20-30% of other malignant tumors will eventually metastasize into the brain. Due to their contractile and invasive growth, once they occupy a certain space in the brain, no matter whether they are benign or malignant, they are bound to increase intracranial pressure, compress brain tissue, cause central nervous system damage, and endanger the patient's life.

Survival period depends on the severity of the patient's condition, the body's sensitivity to drugs, and a reasonable treatment plan. It is recommended to use dynamic Chinese medicine treatments and take Chinese herbal medicine to relieve symptoms and pain and prolong life. Finding the right hospital, the right treatment method, maintaining a good attitude, and providing good care can extend survival period as much as possible.

Everyone has a different physique. Some middle-aged and elderly patients die a few months after being diagnosed with brain tumors, while others are cheerful and can live a few more years. In fact, brain tumor surgery can extend the life span. How long you can live in the late stage of brain tumors depends on the treatment effect and physical function. As long as you choose the appropriate method and actively treat it, you can improve the symptoms and prolong your survival. Patients with advanced brain tumors should maintain a positive attitude and actively cooperate with treatment. With the continuous improvement of treatment methods, new treatment methods and drugs are increasingly used in the treatment of advanced brain tumors. The survival of patients with advanced brain tumors is significantly higher than before.
