How long can cholangiocarcinoma live

summary

Last year, when I went to the hospital for physical examination, I was diagnosed with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. At that time, the doctor said that there had been abdominal lymph node metastasis, and then there was yellow water vomiting, and the abdominal pain was very severe, which was really uncomfortable. Today, let me learn how long cholangiocarcinoma can live.

How long can cholangiocarcinoma live

First: the advanced development of cholangiocarcinoma is very fast, usually symptomatic treatment, the specific survival time is difficult to judge, mainly depends on the symptoms, if there is obvious jaundice, ascites is usually about half a year to a year.

Second: the survival of gallbladder cancer: the median survival was 1 year. The median survival time of stage I and II was 3 years. The median survival time of stage III and IV was only 7 months. The patients in the middle and late stage should be treated with radical operation, and at the same time, we can actively try the adjuvant treatment methods such as hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy and intraperitoneal infusion chemotherapy.

Third: cholangiocarcinoma refers to the primary malignant tumor of extrahepatic bile duct from the junction of left and right hepatic ducts to the lower end of common bile duct. Cholangiocarcinoma can be divided into hilar cholangiocarcinoma or upper cholangiocarcinoma, middle cholangiocarcinoma and lower cholangiocarcinoma. We must have confidence. The current technology is relatively advanced. Some of them can live for more than 10 years without problems. Don't give up and insist on treatment.

matters needing attention

The malignant degree of cholangiocarcinoma is relatively high, the median survival time is not ideal, the first choice is surgery, if you lose the opportunity of surgery, chemotherapy may be possible, but cholangiocarcinoma is not very sensitive to chemotherapy, the effect is not very ideal.
