How long is the survival period for lung cancer liver metastasis and brain metastasis?

When lung cancer metastasizes to the liver or brain, the patient may still be in the early stages of the disease. If treatment is actively carried out at this time, the 5-year survival rate can reach 10%-20%. If the disease has developed to the late stage, the patient's 5-year survival rate is usually 3-6 months.

1. Early stage of the disease

If the cancer is discovered early and treated promptly by surgical resection, combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, it can effectively inhibit the spread of cancer cells and prolong the patient's life. However, the specific time varies from person to person, and is related to factors such as personal constitution and sensitivity to drugs.

2. Late stage of the disease

1. Severe illness: When the tumor metastasizes to the brain, it will cause increased intracranial pressure, leading to worsening symptoms such as headaches, nausea and vomiting, and even coma. If the disease is not controlled in time, it may be life-threatening;

2. Insensitive to drugs: For some more malignant types of lung cancer, such as small cell lung cancer, recurrence may occur even after effective treatment, thus affecting survival time.

In daily life, patients are advised to pay attention to a balanced diet and take in nutrients. They are advised to eat more protein-rich foods, such as eggs and milk, which can help to enhance physical fitness and improve disease resistance. At the same time, they should maintain a good attitude and avoid excessive tension or anxiety, so as not to affect the recovery of the disease.
