How long a patient can live with liver cancer is generally related to the early or late detection of liver cancer, timely and appropriate treatment, as well as the degree of malignancy of liver cancer and the patient’s own immunity. Liver cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the liver. How long a patient can live is determined by many factors, such as the early stage and late stage of the disease. Early stage liver cancer can get the chance of radical treatment, and the five-year survival rate after surgery is 40%-70%. Whether or not liver cancer can be treated promptly after diagnosis makes a difference in the outcome. In addition, each liver cancer patient may have different autoimmunity and tolerance to the tumor, and even the same disease may have different conditions and therefore different survival periods. In conclusion, it is recommended that patients should try to maintain good dietary habits, drink more green tea, take proper supplement of trace elements selenium, reduce intake of amyl nitrite, arrange work and rest time reasonably, avoid anger, and review regularly after surgery.
