How long can a lung cancer patient live with conservative treatment

The main treatment for lung cancer is through radiotherapy, surgery, chemotherapy and targeted therapy, and the survival rate can reach 80% within five years.

Lung cancer is a disease that is difficult to cure in most cases. Even if the cancer is discovered, there is still a possibility of recurrence. For lung cancer patients, how long can they live if they receive conservative treatment?
If lung cancer is in its early stages and is treated with surgical resection, and chemotherapy is used as an aid to control the disease after the surgery, then the lesion can be removed cleanly. Generally speaking, the patient's survival period will be longer, possibly up to ten years or even longer.
However, if the patient has early-stage lung cancer and adopts conservative treatment, for example, he is not willing to try more risky treatments such as chemotherapy or surgical resection, then the survival rate within five years may be only 80%. Some patients are lucky and may be cured and discharged directly from the hospital.
There are also some patients who are in the middle stage of lung cancer. In the next five years, their survival rate may be only 50% to 60%, so there is a great chance of facing death. Therefore, this disease must be prevented early, detected early, treated early, and correct measures must be taken as much as possible to prolong life to the greatest extent.
