Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the human lungs. It has a high incidence rate and causes death very quickly. It can be said that it is very harmful to people's health. Generally speaking, once patients are found to have lung cancer, they will go to the hospital for treatment as soon as they are diagnosed with lung cancer. It is conceivable how much people fear lung cancer.

Normally, lung cancer is a relatively common lung disease and one of the more common malignant tumors. It mainly refers to a malignant lesion occurring on the bronchial mucosa, which can cause great harm to the patient's physical and mental health. If lung cancer is not well treated, it is very easy to lead to the patient's death. However, the main manifestations of lung cancer after onset are persistent cough, blood in sputum, chest pain, hoarseness, and many complications, such as pneumonia, malignant pleural effusion, etc. With the development of society, lung cancer is no longer a terminal illness for some people. It will also become a chronic disease for some patients, such as diabetes, coronary heart disease, etc.

In life, many patients want to know a question, that is, how long can they live when lung cancer develops to the late stage. In fact, such a question is mainly determined by the patient's condition and the degree of care after treatment. The situation of each patient with advanced lung cancer is also different. So let us understand the care and health care of patients with advanced lung cancer.

First, psychological counseling. For patients with advanced lung cancer, the most important thing is to provide them with psychological counseling. Because of the disease, the psychological quality of patients at this stage is very low and their emotions are very unstable. So as family members, we should help the patients. It is very important to counsel them.

Second, pain relief. For advanced lung cancer, patients will experience severe pain in their bodies after reaching this stage. However, this pain will cause patients to lose some confidence in treatment. So we should encourage patients and let them face it with a strong mentality. The most important thing is to use drugs for treatment. Usually, we use a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to relieve pain for patients. It can be said that the effect is very obvious and can effectively relieve the pain in patients' bodies.

Third, improve the patient's physical function. For patients with advanced lung cancer, we should try our best to improve the patient's physical function, especially in terms of diet. First of all, we must ensure the nutrition of the diet and have a healthy diet standard. Usually, we can eat more foods that can prevent and fight cancer, and add more protein, trace elements and vitamins. This can greatly improve the patient's physical fitness.

Fourth, relieve symptoms. Patients with advanced lung cancer usually experience many symptoms, such as fever, cough, edema, etc. However, we should provide effective treatment to the patients at this time, and always observe the patients' condition. If necessary, take some different drugs for the treatment of lung cancer to relieve symptoms. This can improve the ability to resist disease and reduce the chance of infection.

In short, for patients with lung cancer, no matter whether we have early or late stage lung cancer, we should have a good treatment mentality, and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan. We should also pay attention to ensuring the quality of life in daily life, change our bad living habits, avoid lung diseases caused by smoking, and reduce some harmful substances in the air. Only in this way can we have an excellent control of our condition and increase our survival time.
