How much survival time is there for multiple metastases in stage 4 lung cancer

Patients with stage IV lung cancer with multiple metastases generally survive 1-3 months. Due to the different constitution of each person, the different severity of the disease, and the different treatment methods, etc., will affect the life span of the patient.

1. Reasons

1. Physical fitness: If the patient's physical fitness is relatively good, and he can actively cooperate with the doctor to carry out radiotherapy and chemotherapy to control the spread of cancer cells, then his survival time will be longer. However, if the physical fitness is poor, the survival time will be relatively short.

2. Severity of the disease: If the cancer has developed to an advanced stage and there is metastasis of multiple organs throughout the body, the survival rate of the patient is usually relatively low, and it may only take about a few months.

2. Treatment

1. Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy is a local treatment that uses high-energy rays to kill tumor cells. It has a certain effect on both small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, which can alleviate symptoms and prolong life.

2. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment that uses chemical drugs to kill cancer cells. Commonly used chemotherapy drugs include cisplatin injection, paclitaxel injection, etc. It can be given intravenously or orally and can be used to treat many types of lung cancer.

It is recommended that patients maintain a good state of mind, avoid emotional agitation, pay attention to rest, and ensure adequate sleep, which is conducive to the recovery of the disease. The diet is mainly light and easy to digest foods, such as millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, etc., and avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, etc. If there is obvious discomfort during the period, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the condition.
