Liver malignant tumors are what we call liver cancer. Liver cancer is a common malignant tumor in our lives. It has brought huge impacts to many patients' families, and even earth-shaking changes, making many families fall into endless pain and economic difficulties. Many people are asking how long can patients with liver malignant tumors live?

First, the early subclinical stage. It takes about 10 months from the generation of precancerous cells to the diagnosis of subclinical liver cancer. There are no symptoms and it is difficult to detect by imaging.

Second, the subclinical stage. It usually takes about 10 months from subclinical liver cancer to the onset of symptoms, and it is often discovered by imaging. At this time, if it can be diagnosed early and surgically removed, the 5-year survival rate can reach 60% to 70%.

The third is the middle stage, which takes about 4 months from the onset of symptoms to jaundice, ascites or distant metastasis.

Fourth, the late stage. That is, from the appearance of jaundice, ascites or distant metastasis to death, it takes about two months. The total course of liver cancer is about two and a half years, of which two years are in the early stage without symptoms. Once symptoms appear, most patients only have a survival time of half a year. How to prolong the life of liver cancer patients? Factors that affect the length of life of liver cancer patients:

1. Whether the postoperative care is appropriate: It mainly includes two categories: diet and life care. The diet after liver cancer surgery should be mainly soft food that is easy to digest and absorb, but it is necessary to ensure sufficient nutrition and energy, so as to effectively reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications; in addition, liver cancer patients should also exercise appropriately after surgery (within their own ability, but excessive and intense exercise should be avoided) to enhance physical fitness, soothe the liver, and promote the body's recovery as soon as possible, thereby achieving the goal of prolonging life.

2. It is related to the patient's attitude towards life: emotional regulation has a positive impact on the survival time after liver cancer surgery. Therefore, if liver cancer patients want to effectively prolong their life after surgery, they should have a firm sense of survival, not be troubled by the question of "how long can I live after liver cancer surgery", and relax their mentality and actively cooperate with postoperative treatment.

The above is our introduction about how long a person with liver cancer can live. Now you have a better understanding of it. Here we suggest that no matter it is early-stage liver cancer or late-stage liver cancer, we should pay attention to maintaining an optimistic and cheerful attitude. Only when our mentality is good can we recover as soon as possible.
