Cancer is something that everyone doesn't want to face, but in case of cancer, many people want to know how long they can live in the advanced stage. In fact, there are many factors that affect how long cancer can live. So ... what should we do to prevent cancer? Let's take a look at it today.
How long can cancer generally live in the late stage?
Studies have shown that under normal circumstances, if cancer is not treated, it can live for a few months at most. Of course, there are many miracles in the world, and miracles are not excluded.
After treatment, the five-year survival rate of early cancer patients can reach 90%-95%. Of course, there are also international medical reviews that under normal circumstances, cancer can survive for three years after treatment.
The degree of malignancy affects life span.
Some experts said, "How long can cancer take a person's life? This is influenced by many factors, the most critical of which is the malignant degree of the tumor. " The lower the malignancy of cancer, the slower the metastasis and the better the therapeutic effect. For example, if breast cancer and lymphoma are found earlier, they may even be cured. It is normal to live for 30 to 50 years. But the malignancy is high and the metastasis speed is fast. For example, small cell lung cancer, if found late, may have metastasized when it is diagnosed, and if it is serious, it will die within a month or two.
The degree of malignancy is mainly determined by the pathological type of tumor cells, that is to say, the "good" and "bad" of tumor cells determine the growth rate, metastasis rate and therapeutic effect of tumors. It is not difficult to understand why the cancer treatment results of the same organ are different, and the life mileage of patients is also different.
Early diagnosis and treatment can prolong life.
Although malignant tumor is terrible, it is controllable and treatable if it can be found early.
Some experts pointed out that if the malignant degree is already high when it is found, it is of course difficult to cure and the life span is short. "If you want to find early diagnosis, it is mainly to conduct early screening. First of all, people with a family history of cancer should have regular checkups, because cancer is related to heredity. Secondly, people over 40 should have a physical examination and screening once a year. Finally, it is necessary to screen certain people for certain cancers, such as breast cancer and cervical cancer in women and prostate cancer in men after a certain age.
Once cancer is diagnosed, correct treatment should be taken. Don't trust the folk prescription and secret recipe, so as not to delay the illness and miss the best treatment opportunity. "Cancer is a systemic disease, and the treatment should organically combine surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunization and other methods to achieve the best results. So we must choose regular hospitals and doctors.
Prolonging life and preventing recurrence
Cancer should be faced with a correct attitude. In fact, many patients are scared to death by themselves. When they hear that they have cancer, their spirits will collapse and they will die without hesitation soon.
