How long can you live with ascites from liver cancer?

Survival period of liver cancer with ascites depends on whether it is actively treated and the effect of treatment, and it has individual difference, if actively cooperating with treatment, the patient may survive for 1~2 years, otherwise 3~6 months. Most liver cancer patients with ascites in the abdominal cavity are considered to have fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity due to hypoproteinemia, and if no treatment is taken, the survival period may be only 3~6 months. However, if patients actively cooperate with treatment, such as surgical resection of tumor, radiofrequency, interventional embolization, etc., and at the same time, transfuse albumin and use diuretics to eliminate ascites, which makes the tumor shrink and improves the nutrition of the body, the survival period can reach 1~2 years. The survival period of liver cancer combined with ascites should be judged according to the patient’s individual condition, liver function status, the number of comorbidities, age, and treatment methods.
