Doctor's answer:

How long can a patient with advanced liver cancer and lung metastasis live? It mainly depends on the treatment method chosen by the patient, their physical condition, and psychological resilience. One-third of cancer patients die from being frightened by their own condition, with a small portion dying from choosing the wrong treatment method, and a very small number dying from natural causes in the terminal stage. Currently, the best approach for treating advanced liver cancer is to use traditional Chinese medicine. Malignant tumors focus on stable clinical symptoms and reduced quality of life, enabling patients to surpass the state of "living with tumors." For advanced liver cancer with lung metastasis, the commonly used treatment method is a combination of chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine. Chemotherapy provides systemic treatment, which can suppress the progression of the disease.
