A frequently asked question, and one is very understandable for patients with cancer is what the prognosis? The prognosis is the medical prognosis of the outcome of the disease if left untreated or treated. In general, the patient is to survive and then concentrated on quality of life we have and what they actually require treatment.
Cancer is a terrible disease because of their frequency and because they have a reputation as a murderess.What must be aware that not every case is the same case and the prognosis varies greatly depending on a variety of factors, including the type of cancer a patient has been closed, as they are generally in good health and ability to provide treatment condition.
The prognosis for a patient with lung cancer depends on the type of cancer that are under contract.
Patients diagnosed with SCLC (small cell lung cancer) have a very short life expectancybecause it is extremely aggressive and not suitable for medical treatment. If untreated, patients have to live SCLC usually 2 to 4 months after diagnosis. SCLC must be given to radiation and chemotherapy, and this can have a dramatic impact on prognosis and be living longer, four or five times to be increased, but it is a sad fact that patients with SCLC little more than a year after diagnosis (less than 10% survival 5 years survivalDiagnosis).
Non-SCLC (NSCLC) has a poor record of survival unless the condition is diagnosed early and the tumor is small enough to be surgically removed. Where is the surgical removal (resection is the medical term for removal of the tumor), cancer took place, and the lungs are diagnosed as Stage 1, the survival rate of 75% at 5 years after diagnosis. Radiotherapy is used to cure completely in some patients with NSCLC and other door to effectiveControl symptoms in most patients.
When he reached an advanced stage lung cancer, chemotherapy is the last recourse to a cure, but more to alleviate some of radiotherapy to treat the symptoms of the disease.
The honest answer to the question of survival is that survival rates are poor compared to other forms of cancer. Overall, survival rates for patients with lung cancer by 16% at 5 years after initial diagnosis, comparedunfavorably with prostate cancer (99%), breast cancer (89%) and colon cancer (65%).
The prevalence of lung cancer as the number one cancer killer, with extremely poor survival rates of the combined mandates increased research and awareness of the condition. Many tumors have historically been considered the poor survival rates of techniques and methods for the treatment of more research uncovered. while lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths inWorld and at home, it is expected that the price of smoking also reduce the disease to his downfall. An essential part of treatment for all diseases is prevention rather than focusing on healing, and is clearly the case if you smoke, you should stop and even better if you consider a cigarette, it is better overall decline in tobacco.
