How long a patient can live with a tumor generally requires a comprehensive judgment based on the nature and location of the tumor as well as the patient’s own age and physical condition. In addition, if the patient’s malignant tumor is not treated in time or not treated, the survival period will be shorter compared to the treated patients. 1. Nature of tumor: If the patient is a benign tumor, the tumor volume is small and there is no possibility of cancer, only regular review is needed; if the volume is large and has compression symptoms, it can be surgically removed, generally the prognosis is good and will not affect the patient’s life, but should insist on review after surgery. If the patient is a malignant tumor without metastasis, after surgical resection and if necessary, adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy, some patients can achieve clinical cure, that is, survival time more than 5 years, or even long-term survival. However, if the tumor is in the middle and late stage, in addition to surgery, it needs to be treated by auxiliary application of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy and other comprehensive methods, the patient’s prognosis is relatively poor and the survival time is short, usually from several months to several years, there is no specific range, but it is difficult to survive for a long time; 2. Tumor site: tumor site also has a certain relationship with the survival period. If the malignant tumor occurs in the head, the five-year survival rate will be more than 50% for patients with less malignant degree; if the malignant degree is heavier, the one-year survival rate is also lower. If the malignant tumor occurs in the chest and abdomen, the tumor found in early stage usually has a better prognosis after treatment and can live for 6-7 years or even longer; if the tumor is in the middle and late stage, combined with a large amount of pleural effusion or abdominal effusion, the prognosis is generally worse and may only have a survival period of about half a year; 3, the patient’s own age and physique: if the patient is older and has poor physique, combined with hypertension, diabetes, and other chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, the survival rate will be more than 50%. If the patient is older and has poor physical condition, combined with chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and coronary heart disease, the survival time will be shorter than that of younger patients with good physical condition. Therefore, the survival time of malignant tumor patients is affected by many factors, especially for early stage patients or patients in good condition, it is difficult to predict accurately. When uncomfortable symptoms appear, you should go to hospital for examination. Some tumors may have reached middle and late stage when symptoms appear. If diagnosed with tumor, surgical resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy as well as some Chinese herbal medicine treatment and immunotherapy should be carried out according to the doctor’s suggestion to increase the cure rate and improve the quality of life as much as possible.
