How long can a person with bile duct tumor live

How long a patient with bile duct tumor can live generally depends on two conditions. One is the patient's physical and mental state in the late stage, and the other is whether the treatment method is appropriate. The treatment of bile duct tumors mainly includes palliative surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Various treatment methods are used in combination to improve the level of late-stage treatment and prolong the patient's survival, that is, live longer.

As a malignant tumor, bile duct cancer brings great pain to patients and their families, so how long a patient with bile duct cancer can live is of great concern. No one has an accurate answer to how long a patient with bile duct cancer can live, because it largely depends on the stage of the patient's illness and the effectiveness of the treatment.

If you are a patient with early-stage bile duct cancer, you should take the appropriate treatment in time. Surgical resection is the main treatment for early-stage bile duct cancer. What kind of surgical treatment to take should be determined based on your own symptoms. If it is common hepatic duct cancer that has not invaded the liver parenchyma, the portal bile duct, common bile duct and bile duct can be removed. Patients should improve their immune function, and patients with bile duct tumors should enhance their resistance to tumors, especially patients with mid- and late-stage bile duct cancer. In terms of diet, patients with bile duct cancer should eat more foods that have anti-biliary and bile duct cancer effects, such as buckwheat, coix seed, tofu dregs, Hericium erinaceus, etc.

How long one can live with early-stage bile duct cancer depends mainly 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%.

In general, how long you can live with bile duct cancer depends on the treatment effect and physical function. As long as you choose the right method and actively treat it, you can improve symptoms and prolong your life. Patients with bile duct cancer should maintain an optimistic attitude and actively cooperate with the treatment. With the continuous improvement of treatment methods, new treatment methods and drugs are increasingly used in the treatment of bile duct cancer, and the survival of bile duct cancer patients has been significantly higher than before.
