How many years can you live after a lung tumor is removed

Survival after lung tumor surgery needs to depend on the type of tumor pathology, tumor staging and other conditions. Surgery for benign lung tumors can be cured without affecting the survival period, if it is a malignant tumor, it needs to depend on the stage and differentiation degree, and the 5-year survival period is between 15% and 90%. Benign tumors of the lung, can be treated by surgery and other means, basically does not have much effect on survival. Malignant tumors of the lungs, early stage lung cancer patients can get long-term survival through active treatment. For patients with intermediate or middle-late stage lung cancer, if the tumor is cleanly resected and the lymph nodes are thoroughly cleared during surgery, and the tumor metastasis is just within the resection range, they can also get long-term survival. Generally speaking, the 5-year survival rate after surgery for stage I lung cancer is about 90%, that for stage II lung cancer is about 75%, that for stage III lung cancer is about 50%, and that for stage IV lung cancer is about 15%-20%. It is recommended that lung tumor patients keep optimistic mindset, go to regular hospitals in time and receive treatment under the guidance of professional physicians.
