How long does lung cancer spread to lymph nodes

summary

My grandfather is lung cancer, although the onset of hunger is early, but because of age, poor physique, has been actively treated, but the disease develops very quickly, now has been transferred to the lymph node, so how long does lung cancer spread to the lymph node live? Let me tell you in detail.

How long does lung cancer spread to lymph nodes

First of all, patients with advanced lung cancer metastasizing to lymph nodes should improve the quality of life and reduce some complications. No one can say how long they can live. This is related to many factors, such as months, a year or even three years. We can also use traditional Chinese medicine or biological immunotherapy to prolong the survival period.

Secondly, the survival rate of lung cancer spreading to lymph nodes depends on many factors, including the patient's constitution, tumor pathological type, tumor size and the correct choice of treatment. In fact, the spread of lung cancer to lymph nodes also means that patients with lung cancer with lymph node metastasis, if there is no pleural effusion and active treatment can survive for two or three years, if the treatment effect is poor, generally only about half a year.

Finally, generally speaking, the survival rate of lymph node metastasis in early stage lung cancer is higher, while in middle and late stage patients, due to the more serious condition, poor physical fitness, tumor or local infiltration or systemic metastasis, the possibility of cure is less at this time. In the treatment of lymph node metastasis of lung cancer, surgical treatment is of little significance, and comprehensive treatment is generally adopted in clinic.

matters needing attention

Because the symptoms of lymph node metastasis of lung cancer have appeared, the treatment principle should be to control the patient's condition, prevent tumor cells from spreading and metastasis again, and prolong the effective survival of patients. Radiotherapy can help to control the local spread of lung cancer to lymph nodes, relieve symptoms, improve the quality of life, and also help survival. For patients with poor physical condition, we can only choose traditional Chinese medicine combined with supportive therapy, or biological targeted therapy.
