How long a liver cancer patient can live after vomiting blood is uncertain, and the exact time will vary according to the severity of each patient’s condition. When liver cancer patients vomit blood, it usually suggests that the liver cancer has been staged at a late stage, with poor prognosis and the survival rate of 5 years is not more than 5%.
Clinically, blood vomiting caused by liver cancer is usually due to varicose veins of the esophagogastric fundus and coagulation dysfunction.
1. Esophagogastric fundal varices: when liver cancer patients are combined with cirrhosis, it will cause portal hypertension, which will lead to esophagogastric fundal varices. When the pressure is too high or hard food scratches the esophagus, the varices will rupture and bleed, and a large amount of bleeding will be manifested as vomiting blood.
2. Coagulation dysfunction: when liver cancer patients suffer from liver function failure in the late stage, it will lead to blood clotting dysfunction, resulting in bleeding in various parts of the body, which is not limited to vomiting blood, but can be manifested as subcutaneous bruise, purpura and so on.
3. When liver cancer invades the bile duct, it can lead to bile duct bleeding, and when the bleeding is large, it can lead to vomiting blood.
The above situations generally suggest that liver cancer has been staged at a late stage, with poor prognosis and 5-year survival rate not more than 5%.
Therefore, liver cancer patients with blood vomiting indicate that their condition is more serious and their prognosis is poorer, but they still need to actively seek medical treatment to prolong their life cycle after vomiting blood.
