What is the survival rate of metastatic liver cancer

summary

My uncle was found to have liver cancer last week, and it was very serious. My uncle was tortured by the disease, and had been diagnosed with metastatic cancer cells. My aunt and I went to ask my uncle's attending doctor what the survival rate of metastatic liver cancer was. The doctor showed us some other people's cases and gave us some examples. Now let me talk about the survival rate of metastatic liver cancer.

What is the survival rate of metastatic liver cancer

First, it used to be thought that the course of liver cancer was very short, only six months. However, with the development of medicine, people's understanding of liver cancer and the improvement of technical level, some studies have found that it will take about two years for liver cancer cells to settle, divide and die. That is to say, from the beginning of liver cancer to death, untreated liver cancer patients can live for 2 years. In today's increasingly popular health examination, many patients with liver cancer can be found early and treated in time. The five-year survival rate has been greatly improved and a higher quality of life has been obtained. Some of them can even live for decades.

Second, surgical treatment is the main treatment for metastatic liver cancer. According to the investigation and research, among the 20 cases treated by surgical resection, 100% survived for half a year and 80% survived for one year, among which 5 cases have survived for more than two years. Another related investigation showed that 607 Cases of metastatic liver cancer were resected surgically. The 5-year survival rate was as high as 33%, and the 5-year disease-free survival rate was 25%. One patient with liver metastasis from colon cancer survived for 23 years.

Third: metastatic liver cancer is also one of the more common tumor diseases, which is the local manifestation of systemic diseases. In order to really get rid of the shackles of the disease, in addition to the treatment of liver tumors, we should also focus on the treatment of primary lesions. After the tumor of primary lesions is controlled, the survival time of patients will be really extended. In other words, the survival time of patients with metastatic liver cancer should be dialectically based on the different conditions of different patients.

matters needing attention

How much survival rate is concerned by many cancer patients and their families, but the patient's condition is related to the mental state, as well as the follow-up treatment and so on. The treatment of advanced cancer should focus on alleviating pain, improving quality of life, controlling the disease, and paying attention to some matters to prolong life.
