How long can a person with advanced lung cancer live at most

Lung cancer, like other cancers, is a difficult-to-treat disease that can be life-threatening. Although it has not yet been completely conquered, medical development is so rapid that the patient's life can be extended to the greatest extent. After suffering from lung cancer, many people want to know how long they can live in the middle and late stages of lung cancer? Let's analyze this issue below.

Experts said that although many people have asked this question, there is still no definite answer, but it does not affect people's desire to know the answer. Early detection and early treatment are the best for lung cancer. Lung cancer in the middle and late stages is caused by the spread and metastasis of cancer cells, which leads to lung cancer, thus affecting the patient's life and health. On the other hand, lung cancer is generally not easy to detect in the early stages. Once it is discovered, it is often in the middle and late stages. Therefore, many patients are very worried about how long they can live with lung cancer in the middle and late stages. In fact, how long they can live with lung cancer in the middle and late stages is inseparable from many factors.

The survival rate of patients with mid-to-late stage lung cancer depends on whether the treatment method of mid-to-late stage lung cancer is appropriate, whether the patient has a good mental state, whether there are good care methods after treatment and other issues. At the same time, patients should not worry about how long they can live because of mid-to-late stage lung cancer. As long as you choose the right hospital and the right treatment method, you will have no problem living another 10 to 20 years, or even longer.

If lung cancer develops to the middle or late stage, many treatment methods are not suitable for patients with this condition. How long a person can live if lung cancer spreads depends on the patient's physical condition and the treatment method used. It does not mean that once lung cancer spreads, it means death. For a disease like lung cancer, early detection, early surgery, and early radiotherapy and chemotherapy are necessary to completely cure it. Once lung cancer is detected in the middle or late stage, the survival time will be very short.

Generally speaking, lung cancer in the middle and late stages is very easy to spread. Once it spreads, the patient can basically only survive for half a year. If it has not spread, the patient can survive for 3-5 years at most. The exact cause of lung cancer is still unclear, but studies have shown that the incidence of lung cancer is related to smoking, air pollution, occupational factors, and lung diseases, among which smoking is the main cause of lung cancer. Air pollution includes industrial pollution, haze, fire and other air pollution. Some occupations are often exposed to substances related to the incidence of lung cancer at work, such as asbestos, arsenic, chromium, etc., which will also increase the risk of lung cancer. Some chronic lung diseases such as tuberculosis, silicosis, pneumoconiosis, etc., can coexist with lung cancer. The incidence of lung cancer in these cases is higher than that of normal people.

Experts remind: Patients with mid-to-late stage lung cancer and their families should learn more about the treatment of mid-to-late stage lung cancer, communicate more with their attending physicians, pay attention to lung health in life, and eat a diet that clears and moisturizes the lungs, which will greatly help prolong the survival period of patients with mid-to-late stage lung cancer.
