How long can one live with advanced bile duct cancer

It is well known that bile duct tumors are highly malignant. The most concerning issues for patients with bile duct tumors are whether advanced bile duct tumors can be cured and how long they can live with advanced bile duct tumors. Experts point out that the survival time of advanced cancer is unpredictable. Even bile duct tumors with extremely high malignancy cannot be easily equated with death. Clinically, those who actively receive treatment and maintain good physical functions may be able to survive with the tumor for a long time.

At present, the treatment of advanced bile duct tumors should be combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment, which can reduce the toxicity of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and relieve symptoms, and improve the patient's immunity and disease resistance, and improve the quality of life. For patients with advanced bile duct tumors with a wide range of metastasis, weak physical functions, and difficulty in tolerating chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine can be used for conservative treatment. Although the short-term effect is not as obvious as chemotherapy, the long-term effect is good, and it is effective in improving the quality of life and prolonging survival.

Clinically, surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the most commonly used treatment methods. However, years of clinical experience have told us that surgery and chemotherapy have disadvantages. Not only can they not effectively cure bile duct tumors, but the toxic side effects produced during the treatment will also make the patient's body weaker and weaker, and may even worsen the patient's condition. Therefore, clinically, it is recommended that patients actively cooperate with high-energy focused tumor removal therapy while using surgery and chemotherapy.

On the other hand, it varies from patient to patient. Only with good physical function and strong immunity can one resist the development of cancer and tolerate various drug treatments. Otherwise, the patient is likely to die from many side effects and complications caused by the decline of systemic function. The improvement of immune function can be alleviated through proper diet therapy. Patients with advanced bile duct tumors should eat more foods that have anti-biliary and bile duct tumor effects: buckwheat, coix seed, tofu dregs, Hericium erinaceus, etc. You can also take appropriate Chinese medicine and health products to enhance immunity.

Late-stage bile duct tumors are very harmful to patients and are difficult to treat. The earlier the bile duct tumors are discovered and treated, the higher the cure rate. Although the late stage is more difficult to cure, if the late stage bile duct tumors can be well treated, the patient's life can be prolonged. In general, how long a person can live with late-stage bile duct tumors varies from person to person. It is not impossible to survive with the tumor for a long time by maintaining an optimistic attitude, good physical function, and actively cooperating with treatment.
