How long do you usually live with bone metastases?

Patients with bone metastatic tumor indicate that the malignant tumor has developed to an advanced stage, and the time that the patients can still survive, usually around half a year to three years, but it is not certain because of its influence of more factors, such as the typing of the tumor of the primary lesion, the patient’s physical condition, the sensitivity to radiotherapy and other treatments, and so on.
1. Tumor typing: especially the typing of malignant tumors in the primary lesion, for patients with higher degree of malignancy, after the formation of bone metastases, the survival time is relatively shorter than those with lower degree of malignancy.
2. Physical condition of patients: patients with better physical condition have relatively stronger resistance and longer survival time, while those with poorer physical condition also have poorer resistance, so their survival time is relatively shorter.
3. Sensitivity to radiotherapy and other treatments: if the patient’s lesion is less sensitive to radiotherapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy and other measures, the effect of the treatment is also relatively poor, the prognosis will be worse, and the survival time of the patient is relatively shorter than that of the patient with high sensitivity.
To summarize, the survival time of patients varies from person to person and is not fixed, ranging from a few months to a few years, and it is common that patients can survive for half a year to three years in the clinic, so it is recommended to go to the hospital and complete all the examinations in order to clarify the condition.
