How long can you live with advanced uterine cancer?

How long one can live in advanced stage of uterine cancer varies from person to person, which mainly depends on the malignancy degree of the tumor, treatment and patient’s physical quality, etc., and cannot be generalized. Uterine cancer in advanced stage may not be suitable for surgery, but if the patient’s physical condition is better, chemotherapy can be adopted and the survival time may reach about three years. Since chemotherapy is a systemic drug, although it has inhibitory effect on malignant tumors, patients may have adverse reactions, such as gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea and vomiting, while patients may have decreased bone marrow hematopoietic function such as lowered white blood cells and lowered platelets, and may also cause hair loss. Therefore, if the patient is weak, he or she may not be suitable for chemotherapy. At this time, symptomatic treatment can be considered, such as taking traditional Chinese medicine, which can nourish the qi and blood, regulate the internal environment of the body, and help enhance the immune function of the patient’s organism. If patients have pain symptoms, they can also take pain-relieving drugs for treatment as prescribed by the doctor. However, if the patient’s treatment is not satisfactory, the survival period may be shorter, and may even survive for a few months. In conclusion, patients are advised to actively cooperate with doctors with an optimistic attitude in order to prolong the survival time and improve the quality of survival.
