After kidney cancer surgery, the treatment effect is very good. How long you can live after kidney cancer surgery depends on whether it is early stage. When the kidney cancer is still confined to the kidney, the survival rate five years after surgery is usually more than 60%. If the kidney cancer has metastasized distantly, the survival rate after surgery is roughly about 50% in three years. Those that can exceed ten years generally do not exceed 20%. How long can kidney cancer live and how long can it live after surgery are affected by many factors. Patients have differences in physical, medical and psychological quality, etc., which cannot be generalized, but the overall trend is good. The survival period after kidney cancer surgery is related to the patient’s physical function to a certain extent. If the physical function is good, the immunity is strong, the patient is able to receive radiotherapy, chemotherapy and Chinese medicine and other consolidation treatments after surgery, and the mentality is better, all will reduce recurrence. Five years after kidney cancer surgery is the peak period of recurrence, once recurrence is treated, it is very difficult and the prognosis is poor. If there is no recurrence, the prognosis of kidney cancer survival for five years is generally more than 60%.
