Survival time of lung cancer cannot be generalized, as it is related to various reasons such as tumor stage, pathological type, treatment method, physical condition, psychology and spirituality. The earlier the lung cancer is detected, diagnosed and treated, the longer the survival time of lung cancer patients.
Usually, 5-year survival rate is used to assess the survival of tumor patients. Pathological types of lung cancer can be divided into small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, and statistical data show that the 5-year survival rate of small cell lung cancer is about 50% for Stage I, about 25% for Stage II, about 10% for Stage III, and about 3% for Stage IV; and the 5-year survival rate of non-small cell lung cancer is about 90% for Stage I, about 50% for Stage II, about 30% for Stage III, and less than 10% for Stage IV.
Patients with lung cancer can prolong the survival period of lung cancer and reduce the impact caused by the disease through early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment. If there is any discomfort, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time.
