What is the average life expectancy for squamous lung cancer



The specific five-year survival rate of patients with squamous lung cancer after treatment ranges from about 5% to 70%, which is highly related to the stage of the disease.

Squamous lung cancer is a common pathological type of lung cancer, which can be caused by smoking, environment, heredity and other factors. The treatment after the disease occurs is comprehensive treatment mainly based on surgical resection. The five-year survival rate of patients after active treatment is highly related to the stage.

For example, the five-year survival rate for early-stage patients is about 70%; for intermediate-stage patients, it is about 20% to 50%; and for advanced-stage patients, it is only about 5%. Postoperative attention to active adjuvant therapy and regular review can reduce the recurrence rate and improve the cure rate. In conclusion, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment should be pursued as much as possible in order to obtain a high clinical cure rate and a better prognosis.
