How long can you live with stomach cancer? It is not fixed and depends on many factors

How long a patient with gastric cancer can live is not fixed. With active surgical treatment in the early stages of the disease, the five-year survival rate can reach 90% to 95%. In the late stages, when distant metastasis occurs, the patient may die within a year.

How long a person can live with gastric cancer is not fixed, and depends on many factors, such as the patient's clinical stage, whether the treatment is timely, and whether the treatment method is appropriate. If the lesion is removed surgically in the early stage of the disease, the 5-year survival rate can reach 90% to 95%; in the late stage, the 5-year survival rate is only 16%; especially when distant metastasis occurs, death is often caused within 1 year.
The survival time varies with different stages of gastric cancer. The milder the disease, the longer the survival time, and the more severe the disease, the shorter the survival time. Especially when distant metastasis occurs, most patients only survive for about 6 to 10 months. Early treatment when abnormal symptoms are found can effectively control the growth and metastasis of cancer cells and effectively prolong the survival time.
