How long can I live if bile duct cancer has spread

After being diagnosed with cancer, many people are most afraid to hear the words "has spread", because everyone knows that spread means the difficulty of treatment, or directly reveals the remaining time of the patient's life. So how long is left if bile duct cancer spreads? So today we are going to talk about how long you can live if bile duct cancer has spread.

How long can you live if bile duct cancer has spread in the late stage? This is a question that many patients with advanced bile duct cancer and their families are concerned about. It is difficult to have a clear answer to the question of how long you can live with advanced bile duct cancer. The treatment of bile duct cancer is a systematic process that involves many factors. In general, how long you can live with advanced bile duct cancer, in other words, how long is the survival period of patients with advanced bile duct cancer, mainly depends on whether the treatment method is appropriate and the patient's physical function. In addition, patients with advanced bile duct cancer and their families should learn more about the treatment knowledge of advanced bile duct cancer and communicate more with the attending physician, which will help prolong the survival period of advanced bile duct cancer.

When bile duct cancer spreads in the late stage, the main thing is to choose the right treatment method and improve the patient's immunity, so as to prolong the patient's survival. When bile duct cancer spreads in the late stage, local treatment is already difficult to control the disease, so systemic treatment methods, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment are mostly used in clinical practice, but chemotherapy has great side effects. Single chemotherapy often has too many side effects, which patients cannot bear, and is prone to recurrence and metastasis. Therefore, it is recommended that patients still use mild and conservative traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Although traditional Chinese medicine treatment is not as effective as chemotherapy in the short term, it is possible for the tumor to disappear with long-term use of traditional Chinese medicine, achieving long-term survival with tumors.
