Depends on the type of cancer and the rate that it is spreading at. This varies between each person. Its best to seek medical advice if unsure.
6 months to a year with treatment
The surgery helps the patients to live longer and identifies whether the cancer cell has spread to other part of the body.
no-one can answer that unless they know the surverity of the person's cancer. My grandad has just been diagnosed with lung cancer, they said that if it had been caught earlier then they could have done something or pro-longd it but as he has had it for many years un-noticed by his doctor he has only 6 months left but that is only as it has spread to the liver and limp gland but caught ealier and there a chance of survival, you're best speaking to a doctor they could help more.
People can live with one lung or one kidney.
That means the cancer has spread. Lung cancer often spreads to the brain. This means the stage of the cancer has increased, the treatment has to become more aggressive, and the life expectancy decreases.
NO
Malignant lung tumors can grow quickly and spread to other organs of the body. Lung cancer has the highest chance of being successfully treated when a patient is diagnosed in the early stages. Individuals with risk factors should understand the symptoms of lung cancer tumors.Causes of Lung CancerMajority of lung cancer cases result from individuals who smoke tobacco for a long period of time. The more cigarettes and the longer a person smokes increase the risk of developing lung cancer. Smoking cigars and pipes can also contribute to the development of lung cancer, although the risk is not as high as with cigarettes. The chemicals in tobacco lead to the mutation of cells within the lungs. As the cells reproduce, a person develops lung cancer. Non-smoking individuals who live around second-hand smoke are also at risk of developing lung cancer.Symptoms of Lung CancerApproximately one-fourth of individuals with lung cancer do not experience any symptoms. In many cases, lung cancer is discovered during a routine X-ray of the chest. A patients that does not experience symptoms usually has a small, solitary lung tumor. As lung cancer grows, tumors can start to invade the lungs and cause symptoms. Lung cancer tumors may cause shortness of breath, chest pain, vocal cord paralysis, and coughing up blood. In some patients, lung cancer can spread to the bone and cause extreme pain. Cancer can also spread to the brain and affect an individual's vision and cause headaches and seizures.Staging and TreatmentsStaging refers to how much lung cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body. The stage of an individual's lung cancer determines how the doctor will treat the cancer. Lung cancer stages range from stage I to stage IV. Stage I lung cancer, which means the tumor is only located in the lung, may be treated with surgery to remove the tumor. Radiation therapy is used to kill cancer cells and prevent them from dividing, and to shrink tumors so that surgery can be performed. Individuals with advanced lung cancer typically undergo chemotherapy, which is used to kill rapidly dividing cancer cells. The unfortunate part of chemotherapy is that it also kills normal cells. Chemotherapy can compromise a person's immune system.
My mom was diagnosed with Stage IV Small Cell Lung Cancer. After going into remission it has spreaded to several different places. She has it in her brain, lymph nodes and her lungs again. They were watcing her bones because it is known to go to there. At this point the doctors say she only has a few weeks to live. I just know once cancer comes back it does so with a vengeance. Best of luck to you and your loved ones... Michelle
It is obvious we as people cannot live with out a liver , they had done transplants and some have succedd. On the other hand many have failed. As for the lungs, lungs can rejuvenite as there are 5 lobes. the best remendy would be to take care of our bodies
