The first thing that many patients feel after being diagnosed with liver cancer is a blow to the head, and then the question they ask is: Doctor, how long can I live? It is difficult to tell the survival time of each patient after diagnosis, however, patients who meet the following conditions can indeed live longer. The patient has a strong will to live and is cooperative with treatment. The patient’s mental state and physical state are inseparable as a whole. Only if the patient still has hope and confidence in life, his/her spirit will not collapse and he/she will be able to continue active treatment and benefit from the treatment. In this aspect, adequate control of cancer pain is very important. If the patient suffers from the pain of the disease and cannot eat or sleep well, survival itself becomes a kind of pain for the patient instead, then the patient will probably choose to give up his/her life such as committing suicide or refusing to take injections and medication to continue the treatment. Therefore, for liver cancer patients, we should not only pay attention to whether the anti-tumor treatment has controlled the tumor satisfactorily, but also whether the quality of life of the patients themselves has seriously decreased, which is a basic principle of our anti-tumor treatment. The socio-economic status of the patient and the social support he/she can get. Whether for patients, family members or health care workers, liver cancer is a stubborn enemy that needs to be prepared for a long-term war. As anti-tumor treatment, patient care, diet and nutrition require more human and financial resources, patients with liver cancer who can adhere to regular review and treatment, ensure nutrition and quality of patients’ daily life generally have a longer survival period than those with low socio-economic status. In addition, the love and care from family, friends, medical and nursing staff and society make them less lonely in the process of fighting against tumor, thus enhancing patients’ belief in survival and making them feel happy and more likely to cooperate with treatment, which makes twice the effort with half the effort.
