summary

My neighbor has been coughing for a long time. His lung is shaking and painful, especially the blood in his sputum. My relatives who know some medicine say that he may have lung cancer. When I went to the hospital, I was found to have central lung cancer. Now let me tell you how long central lung cancer can live.

How long can central lung cancer live

First, lung cancer is naturally a malignant tumor growing in the lung or bronchus. According to the different growth sites, the tumor cells of lung cancer can be divided into central lung cancer, peripheral lung cancer and diffuse lung cancer. Central lung cancer refers to the fact that the tumor grows less in the upper bronchus, peripheral lung cancer refers to the fact that the tumor grows in the lower bronchus, while diffuse lung cancer mainly grows in the small tubes above the lung.

Second, lung cancer can be divided into small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer according to different cancer cells in biology. Non small cell lung cancer can be divided into squamous cell carcinoma, adenoid cell carcinoma and large cell carcinoma. He has his own treatment plan for each type of lung cancer and each kind of cytological lung cancer.

Third: no matter what kind of lung cancer, the survival time of patients is closely related to the development speed of the disease and the effect of prognosis after treatment. If lung cancer is found early and can be treated surgically, then the survival rate of patients will be longer.

matters needing attention

For central lung cancer, there is no standard for survival time. As long as the disease can be found as soon as possible and the lung cancer can be controlled as soon as possible, the survival rate of patients will be greatly improved. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to regular physical examination at ordinary times.
