Survival period of chemotherapy for bile duct cancer? Determined by two factors

In daily life, people often do not pay attention to their diet and their living habits, which can easily cause physical discomfort. Cholangiocarcinoma is a highly malignant tumor disease. Once you suffer from this disease, it will have a great impact on your body, so you need to use surgical treatment in time so that you can have a longer survival period.

Cholangiocarcinoma is a highly malignant tumor disease. Once you get cholangiocarcinoma, it will bring endless pain to the patient and his family. The survival period of cholangiocarcinoma has also attracted much attention. What is the survival period of cholangiocarcinoma chemotherapy? No one can give an accurate answer to the survival period of cholangiocarcinoma patients, because it depends to a large extent on the period of the patient's illness and the effect of the treatment. Although the current treatment method of combining chemotherapy with life-saving agents has prolonged the lives of some cholangiocarcinoma patients, it does not mean that cholangiocarcinoma can be completely cured.

How long is the survival period for early stage bile duct cancer?

The survival of early-stage bile duct cancer mainly depends on whether appropriate treatment is taken in time. Surgical resection is the main treatment for early-stage bile duct cancer. The surgical method should be selected according to the location of the tumor. For example, common hepatic duct cancer that has not invaded the liver parenchyma can be treated with resection of the hilar bile duct, common bile duct and bile duct, and choledochojejunostomy; common hepatic duct cancer or confluent bile duct cancer can be treated with resection of the quadrate lobe or part of the right anterior lobe of the liver and resection of the hilar bile duct, extrahepatic bile duct, and choledochojejunostomy. The 5-year survival rate after surgical resection of early-stage bile duct cancer can reach more than 50%.

How long is the survival period for advanced bile duct cancer?

How long a patient with advanced bile duct cancer can live depends mainly on whether the treatment is appropriate and the patient's physical condition. Clinically, the treatments for advanced bile duct cancer mainly include radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and the combined treatment of traditional Chinese medicine for bile duct cancer.

In view of the toxic side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy on the human body, in the treatment of advanced bile duct cancer, life-enhancing agents can generally be used in combination to reduce toxicity. For patients with advanced bile duct cancer who have a wide range of metastases, weak physical functions, and are unable to tolerate chemotherapy, conservative treatment with traditional Chinese medicine can be used, while increasing the dosage of life-enhancing agents. Although the short-term effect is not as obvious as chemotherapy, the long-term effect is good, and it has a significant effect in improving the quality of life and prolonging survival.
