How long can kidney cancer spread to live

summary

A relative in his hometown was told that he was suffering from kidney cancer. Maybe it was because he had been delaying to go to the hospital for examination before, so now he has just found out that the disease has some tendency to spread. Let's talk about how long the spread of kidney cancer can live.

How long can kidney cancer spread to live

First, in the past, the average survival time of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma was 12-14 months. But new targeted drugs (the first-line drugs approved in China are sotan and dojmet) can extend this time to about two years. It should be pointed out that two years is the average time for patients with a large sample size. For each patient, the survival time may vary greatly, ranging from a few months to a few years.

Second: lung metastasis, 56% of patients come with lung metastasis, this part of patients with the best prognosis, survival time more than 40 months everywhere. Brain metastasis, 4-5% of patients with brain metastasis, because the brain function is important to the human body, so the prognosis of this part of patients is the worst, with an average of 1 year survival.

Third: of course, there are many factors that can affect the prognosis of patients. For example, patients who are young and energetic have a longer survival time. Their tumors may not affect their lives immediately, and most of them can tolerate various related treatments. The survival time of patients with good mental state is often longer than those who are depressed after suffering from cancer.
