How long can a person with bile duct cancer usually live? It depends on personal physical fitness and treatment effect

Cholangiocarcinoma can be said to be a very scary malignant tumor disease in clinical practice. Once a patient is infected, the cancer cells may spread rapidly, which will threaten his life and make him lose confidence in treatment and worry that he will die in a short time. So how long can a person with cholangiocarcinoma usually live?

1. How long can a person with bile duct cancer usually live? <br/>Bile duct cancer is indeed a serious disease that will affect the patient's life span. If it can be diagnosed in the early stage of the disease and anti-cancer and anti-cancer treatment is carried out, the survival rate can reach more than 50%, and most patients can survive for at least five years. If it is a mid-to-late stage patient, the life span may only be one to two years. If metastasis has occurred, the life span can be shortened to 3 months. However, it is not possible to generalize how long a patient can live after the disease, and it will vary depending on the individual's physical function and the effect of treatment.

How to treat bile duct cancer
1. Surgical treatment: For patients with early-stage disease, it is best to undergo surgical resection in a timely manner. Specifically, you can choose to do bile duct resection or biliary drainage surgery. After the operation, you need to insist on regular bile duct and systemic examinations to effectively improve the symptoms of bile duct infection and prolong the patient's life as much as possible.

2. Radiotherapy or chemotherapy: Patients with bile duct cancer can generally choose to use radiotherapy or chemotherapy to effectively inhibit the spread and metastasis of cancer cells. However, some patients with severe conditions still need comprehensive treatment with radiotherapy and chemotherapy even after surgery.
3. Treatment with Chinese medicine: Since radiotherapy and chemotherapy are quite harmful to the body, patients may experience extremely serious side effects. Therefore, it is best to take Chinese medicine that can enhance immunity for conditioning. Specifically, you can choose to take ginsenoside RG3 capsules orally, or you can take Chinese medicine prescriptions such as Da Chaihu Decoction, Xijiaosan and Xiao Jianzhong Decoction with water. Generally, taking them according to the course of treatment can achieve the desired effect.
