If nasopharyngeal cancer lung metastasis is actively treated, the life expectancy can reach 1~3 years, but if the treatment is abandoned, the survival period is only about 3 months.
NPC lung metastasis mostly occurs in advanced stage and its condition is relatively serious. If radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy can be actively adopted to inhibit cancer cell replication and tumor elongation, the survival period of the patient is relatively long, which can reach 1~3 years, and part of the patients can even reach about 5 years.
If the patients give up the treatment, the condition will progress very quickly, and the survival period will be around three months, and some patients will even be shorter. However, different patients have different conditions, physical conditions, survival time is not fixed, there are individual differences.
