Why do some people only live for a few months while others live for decades when they are both cancer patients?

There is a very famous paragraph, that said there are two patients with stomach problems together to go to the hospital to check the body, the result is not they are careful to take the wrong test report. One of them, a cancer patient, the doctor told him that it was not cancer but just ordinary gastritis, the patient was so happy that he could not die! There is another patient who is a gastritis patient, and as a result, the report he got is advanced gastric cancer. The result, I believe we have all heard, cancer patients do not cure, while gastritis patients died shortly after.

Such examples happen every day in different corners of the world. Many people do not live long after they get cancer and the person does not live long. But many people can live for a long time after being diagnosed and after active treatment.

The later the stage of cancer, the more serious the disease will be and the worse the treatment effect will be

Why some people can only live for a few months while others can live for decades with same cancer? The length of survival of cancer patients is mainly related to these factors

1. Cancer cell type and cancer stage

The malignant degree of cancer differs from site to site, for example, pancreatic cancer is much more malignant than many cancers. However, even for cancers in the same site, the malignancy level is different for different histopathological classifications. For example, small-cell lung cancer is much more malignant than non-small-cell lung cancer. The higher the degree of malignancy, the lower the overall survival of the patient.

In addition, after the cancer is diagnosed, clinical staging is done. The more advanced the staging, the more severe the disease will be and the less effective the treatment will be, thus leading to lower overall survival.

2. Treatment modality

No matter what type and stage of cancer a patient has, whether the treatment is reasonable or not also has a great impact on the survival period. Therefore, it is important for cancer patients to find the right primary care physician, just like one partner in a marriage chooses the other. Before choosing one, you must make a careful decision, and after choosing one, you must trust him or her completely without putting up any guard.

After chemotherapy, you can use traditional Chinese medicine to slowly prevent cancer cells from relapsing and metastasizing from the root. Thus, a longer survival period can be achieved.

3. Nutritional foundation of the body

This is a very important point, but it is most easily ignored. The patient's resistance and physical condition also affect the survival period of the patient. A good physical condition can naturally resist the damage of cancer to the body.

You should know that chemotherapy alone cannot kill all cancer cells, and the development rate of cancer cells is not controlled by chemotherapy drugs, but by your body's immune level. Once you stop chemotherapy or surgery, the cancer cells will grow and develop again. Therefore, you must build a good nutritional foundation for your body.

4. Living environment

People who also have lung cancer are more difficult to treat than non-smokers because smoking can lead to emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, often with chronic obstructive inflammation of the lungs. This makes treatment worse for smokers after lung cancer occurs, while nonsmokers have better lung function and will have better treatment, thus making a difference in the survival of these two groups.

And a good living environment can make patients happy and not too depressed, which will help to recover from the treatment.

5. People's state of mind

When people are in a pleasant state, immune cells are full, and in fear or immune-depressed people, immune cells are deflated, which is said to be what pathologists see under the microscope. This statement can explain why some cancer patients can be cured of their disease if they are mentally healthy, but of course, this is not absolute, but only increases the probability. So, when we face difficulties also to laugh out because fear will be more reduce our ability to face difficulties.
