Maximum life expectancy for women with advanced lung cancer

The survival time for women with advanced lung cancer is about 3 months – 1 year or so. However, if the patient has a good physical foundation and proper treatment and care, the survival time can be extended to 2 years or even longer. When women are in the advanced stage of lung cancer, most of the patients’ cancer cells not only exist in the lungs, but also have metastasized to the liver, adrenal glands and other parts of the body, which will greatly increase the difficulty of treatment. At this time, the patient’s mentality is especially important. If patients change their mentality and actively accept treatment, their condition can be greatly improved and survival time may be prolonged. At present, the main treatments for advanced lung cancer include radiotherapy, targeted therapy and chemotherapy. Single treatment in advanced stage is less effective, and some comprehensive treatment methods are usually adopted. The main purpose of treatment is to improve the patient’s quality of life, reduce the pain caused by cancer cells, and hopefully prolong the patient’s survival time. During treatment, it is necessary to ensure daily nutritional intake to minimize complications. Usually, if the treatment is effective and the disease is under control, the patient can live for 2 years or even longer. If the patient is in poor health, has low resistance, or is old, survival time will be shortened.
