How long is the survival time for stage 4 lung cancer with multiple metastases

The survival time of patients with stage 4 lung cancer and multiple metastases is generally 1-3 months. The life expectancy of patients is affected by different physical conditions, severity of the disease and treatment methods.

1. Reasons

1. Physical fitness: If the patient has good physical fitness and can actively cooperate with the doctor to control the spread of cancer cells through radiotherapy and chemotherapy, then the patient will survive longer. However, if the patient has poor physical fitness, the patient will survive shorter.

2. Severity of the disease: If the cancer has developed to the late stage and has metastasized to multiple organs throughout the body, the patient's survival rate is usually relatively low, perhaps only a few months.

II. Treatment

1. Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy is a local treatment method that uses high-energy rays to kill tumor cells. It has a certain effect on small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, which can relieve symptoms and prolong life.

2. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment method that kills cancer cells by using chemical drugs. Commonly used chemotherapy drugs include cisplatin injection, paclitaxel injection, etc. It can be administered by intravenous infusion or oral administration and can be used to treat many types of lung cancer.

Patients are advised to maintain a good attitude, avoid emotional excitement, pay attention to rest, and ensure adequate sleep, which is conducive to the recovery of the disease. The diet should be light and easily digestible, such as millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, etc., and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, such as peppers and peppers. If obvious discomfort occurs during the period, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition.
