Life expectancy of patients with mid- to late-stage lung cancer

The life expectancy of patients with advanced cancer is generally within one or two years. The degree of progression of the disease varies from person to person depending on the patient's condition and constitution. How long patients with advanced liver cancer can live depends not only on the timing but also on the treatment method. Surgery is still the preferred method for eradicating multiple liver cancers, and the smaller the tumor, the higher the five-year survival rate.

Lung cancer is generally treated with surgery and chemotherapy after surgery, so postoperative care is very important. Nursing is critical to whether the patient can recover as soon as possible during the operation and whether the continued deterioration of lung cancer can be controlled.

1. Lung cancer patients should relax their whole body to relax their muscles, which can effectively block the pain response. You can close your eyes, sigh, bend your hips and knees, and lie flat to relax your whole body muscles. You can also close your eyes and take a deep breath to let fresh air into your lungs.

2. We should also prevent bedsores caused by lung cancer. Because some lung cancer patients are relatively inactive, and if they stay in bed for a long time, they are very likely to develop bedsores, which will be more difficult to cure. We must keep the skin clean at ordinary times. For example, for patients with incontinence, it is even more important to keep the bed clean and flat. If there are symptoms of bedsores, you can use a heating lamp to irradiate the broken skin to keep the local area dry.

3. Because lung cancer patients will have tumor metastasis to different parts of the body, it will also cause some symptoms. Family members must pay attention to observation and provide good care. For example, patients with bone metastasis often have abdominal metastasis, which often occurs in the intestinal obstruction. At this time, pay attention to observe whether there are symptoms of abdominal distension and abdominal pain, and seek medical treatment in time.
