Melanoma surgery has a very high success rate as long as the treatment is timely and can greatly improve the patient’s chances of survival. However, surgery is not a factor that affects the survival rate of melanoma patients. How long a patient can live with advanced melanoma is also affected by whether it is the best time for treatment, pre- and post-operative care, the patient’s state of mind, the patient’s physical function, and other factors. How long can melanoma live in general? 1.Patient’s psychological quality Cancer patients generally go through 5 stages of shock, denial, depression, antitreatment and adaptation. It not only affects the recovery of physical disease, but also makes it difficult for patients to adapt to family and society, and aggravates the disease, affects the effect of treatment, promotes the recurrence and deterioration of tumor, leads to more visits to the doctor, longer hospitalization time, poor compliance with treatment and increases medical costs, which brings burden to family and society. The physical quality of the patient is also one of the important factors in determining how long a patient can live with late stage melanoma. Patients with good physical function and strong immunity can resist the development of cancer and tolerate various drug treatments. Therefore, it is extremely important for patients with advanced melanoma to improve their immune function and enhance their resistance to tumors. 3.The treatment method chosen by patients The treatment method chosen by patients directly determines the life cycle of patients. Different treatment methods have different therapeutic effects, so patients should choose carefully.
