How long can you live without surgery for brain cancer

How long can a brain cancer patient live without surgery? This is actually a question that everyone is concerned about. In fact, no one wants to set a time limit for their life span in advance. In fact, it is difficult to have a clear answer to the life span of brain cancer patients. How long a brain cancer patient can live also depends on the patient's treatment. Today, experts from the Brain Hospital will analyze this issue for everyone.

How long can a patient with brain cancer live without surgery? For patients with mid- to late-stage brain cancer, it mainly depends on whether the treatment method is appropriate and the patient's physical condition. For mid- to late-stage brain cancer, surgical resection is almost impossible, and most clinical treatments are chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine. Radiotherapy is one of the commonly used treatments for mid- to late-stage brain cancer. It has a more direct killing effect on tumors, but because radiotherapy for brain cancer will inevitably damage normal cells, the irradiation intensity, irradiation range, and irradiation time should be carefully selected according to the overall condition. Chemotherapy is also an auxiliary treatment method for mid- to late-stage brain cancer. It can be used in combination with radiotherapy, which can prolong survival and improve the quality of life to a certain extent.

In view of the toxic side effects of chemotherapy and endocrine therapy on the human body, Chinese medicine can be combined with treatment in the treatment of advanced brain cancer to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity. For patients with advanced brain cancer who have a wide range of metastasis, weak physical functions, and are unable to tolerate chemotherapy, Chinese medicine can be used for conservative treatment. Although the short-term effect is not as obvious as chemotherapy, the long-term effect is good and has a significant effect in improving the quality of life and prolonging survival.
In addition, how long a brain cancer patient can live is also closely related to the patient's physical function. Only with good physical function and strong immunity can they resist the development of cancer and tolerate various drug treatments. Therefore, improving immune function and enhancing resistance to tumors is extremely important for brain tumor patients, especially those with mid-to-late stage brain cancer. In terms of diet, brain cancer patients should eat foods that protect intracranial blood vessels: celery, shepherd's purse, chrysanthemum brain, wild rice stem, sunflower seeds, etc.; foods that prevent and treat intracranial hypertension: corn silk, red beans, walnut kernels, etc.; foods that protect against chemotherapy and treat side effects: mushrooms, white fungus, black fungus, day lily, walnuts, etc. You can also rely on taking Chinese medicine that has the effect of tonifying the spleen and kidney, such as the Jianpi Yishen Granules of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences to enhance immune function.

In general, there is no definite answer to how long a brain cancer patient can live. Having brain cancer does not mean death. As long as it can be detected early and effective and reasonable treatment plans are adopted, cancer can be effectively controlled. Brain cancer patients should treat the disease with a good attitude and receive regular treatment as soon as possible.
