Survival in advanced breast cancer

In recent years, the incidence of female breast cancer is still relatively high. Many patients are already in the late stage when they are diagnosed. They have undergone radiotherapy, chemotherapy and Chinese medicine conditioning, but there has been no good therapeutic effect, resulting in poor mental state of the patients. How long can the patients live under such circumstances? Is there any treatment method that can prolong the survival time of patients?

How long is the survival period for breast cancer in the middle and late stages?

Generally speaking, it is not certain how long a patient can live. The conditions of different patients are different, and the effectiveness of treatment is also different. Therefore, it is most important to use appropriate methods and actively treat breast cancer in the late stages. In addition to treating cancer, we must also pay attention to the psychological care of the patient. In the treatment of late-stage breast cancer, the mental state is also very important.

In the early stages of breast cancer, we recommend that patients undergo surgery to remove the breast, because at this stage the tumor cells have not yet migrated or spread. Removing part of the breast is equivalent to removing the tumor. In the later stages, taking medication or undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy can eliminate the tumor cells and achieve the treatment goal.

For late-stage breast cancer, most patients show signs of external spread and migration. The tumor cells are no longer just in the breast, but also migrate to many other parts of the body, such as lymph nodes and bones. At this time, partial treatment methods, such as surgery and radiotherapy, cannot achieve any good results. Minimally invasive surgery is more suitable for patients. It kills tumor cells through microwave heating needles. The trauma and side effects are significantly smaller than surgery and radiotherapy, which is of great help in increasing patient survival.
