Lung cancer is one of the most malignant tumors and the incidence of lung cancer continues to rise worldwide. How long can I live with lung cancer? On average, patients with all types of lung cancer at all stages have about a 20 percent chance of surviving one year and a five-year survival rate of about 6 percent. For those patients who can be surgically removed, the five-year survival rate is 20%; for all surgically treated stage Ia non-small cell lung cancer patients, the five-year survival rate is about 80%; for stage Ib non-small cell lung cancer patients, the five-year survival rate is about 60%; for stage II surgically treated non-small cell lung cancer patients, the five-year survival rate is 40%-50%; for stage IIIa non-small cell lung cancer patients who are still able to undergo surgery, the five-year survival rate is about 20%. Patients with stage IIIa NSCLC who are still able to undergo surgery have a 5-year survival rate of 25%-30%, while patients with inoperable stage IIIb have a 5-17% survival rate; stage VI NSCLC is the most advanced stage of lung cancer and is commonly treated with chemotherapy to relieve symptoms, with a 1-year survival rate of 10%-35% and an average 5-year survival rate of 2%. Unfortunately, most patients with widespread lesions survive for only about 10-12 months after chemotherapy. Small cell lung cancer often has a survival time of only a few weeks without treatment. Patients with tumors should also be careful to avoid all kinds of trauma that may induce leukocytes to promote tumor growth in order to inhibit tumor growth.
