How long can a patient live with pleural fluid in advanced stage of lung cancer cannot be generalized, and it is related to the type of pathology, therapeutic effect and patient’s status, etc. The 5-year survival rate of advanced stage of lung cancer is generally less than 20%, and it is suggested that patients should go to the hospital in time for standardized treatment.
About 10% of patients have different degrees of pleural fluid, which may be due to the presence of pleural metastasis or obstruction of lymphatic reflux in the lungs. At this time, it is generally suggested that the prognosis of the patient is poor, and the 5-year survival rate is generally used to roughly assess the survival of the patient, and the 5-year survival rate of advanced lung cancer is less than 20%. The earlier lung cancer is detected, diagnosed and treated, the less impact lung cancer has on life expectancy.
It should be noted that lung cancer can be detected, diagnosed and treated at an early stage to reduce the impact of lung cancer on patients’ life and improve their prognosis. It is recommended that patients should consult the doctor and go to the hospital for standardized treatment at an early stage, and should not be negligent or discouraged in order to avoid delaying or aggravating the condition.
