How long can you live with melanoma

At present, the number of patients with malignant melanoma in my country is increasing. Many patients with malignant melanoma are very confused when they are diagnosed and do not know much about melanoma. Surgery is the first choice for the treatment of melanoma. Many people will ask, how long can you live after melanoma surgery?

Experts point out that whether the treatment method is appropriate is an important factor affecting how long a patient can live after melanoma surgery. At present, the methods commonly used in clinical treatment of melanoma after surgery include radiotherapy, chemotherapy and cellular immunotherapy. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the main treatments for melanoma and can shrink the tumor, but they will also increase the toxic and side effects as the treatment time increases. In view of the toxic and side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy on the human body, cellular immunotherapy is often combined with postoperative treatment of melanoma to enhance the efficacy and reduce the toxicity, reduce the toxic and side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and enhance the therapeutic effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Cellular immunotherapy is a new treatment method that uses modern biotechnology to stimulate the immune system to fight cancer, with DC+CIK cells as the leading part. Its basic principle is to extract immature immune cells from the patient's body, use the latest international biotechnology to culture them in vitro, and then infuse them back into the patient's body. It can not only kill tumor cells accurately and efficiently, but also stimulate the body to produce anti-tumor immune responses, so that the immune system can play a normal role to kill tumor cells, and start immune surveillance to prevent tumor metastasis and recurrence.

Since cell immunotherapy technology uses the body's own immune cells rather than traditional chemicals to kill tumor cells, this technology is safe and has no toxic side effects. It is suitable for the treatment of all stages of cancer. Therefore, patients do not have to worry about how long they can live after melanoma surgery. As long as the correct treatment method is adopted, the effect will be very significant.

How long a patient can live after surgery for melanoma is affected by many factors. Patients vary in their condition, physical condition, psychological quality, etc., so it is impossible to generalize, but the overall trend is good. The survival period after melanoma surgery is to a certain extent related to the patient's physical function. Good physical function and strong immunity can be achieved through consolidation treatment such as cellular immunotherapy after surgery to resist the development of cancer and reduce recurrence.

Patients should not always worry about how long they can live after surgery. The most important thing is that they should have strong vitality, the spirit to fight the disease, and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
